2012/13 Proposed Budget

The City of Greater Bendigo’s proposed Budget for 2012/2013 delivers major projects now and for the future, while providing value for money services and high quality facilities.

Our region is experiencing a period of significant growth and this puts pressure on infrastructure and the services the City provides. The challenge for Council is to get the balance right so we can build for the future without placing too great a financial burden on existing ratepayers.

The proposed budget is about striking the right balance; it is about delivering infrastructure and services for our community in a financially responsible manner.
