City Council set to consider election year budget


With the completion of community consultation around Adelaide City Council’s draft 2014-15 Business Plan and Budget, Councillors are set to consider the final plan and budget at this Tuesday night’s Finance and Corporate Governance (F&CG) Committee.

“Ahead of releasing the document for consultation, we indicated to the community that the coming financial year was more about the practicalities of maintaining the city;” Cr Houssam Abiad, Chair of F&CG Committee said.

“Investment this coming year will focus on roads, footpaths and other community assets with the budget less about big infrastructure projects; the hallmark of the last couple of budgets.”

“With Council elections in November, one of the principles used in preparing for the coming financial year was that decisions around large infrastructure investment should be left to the new Council rather than binding it to big spending decisions from the current one,” he said.
