Ipswich City Council - Budget 2021-2022
Ipswich City Council has released its Annual Budget for 2021-2022, one that plans for the city’s bright future while managing the needs of today. As part of its special meeting, Council announced a 2.75 per cent average residential rates rise as part of its $532 million 2021-2022 Budget. Mayor Teresa Harding said Council had found a balance between limiting the financial impact on ratepayers and residents, while ensuring it is preparing the city for future growth and opportunities.
“We are laying the foundations to secure the future Ipswich deserves. We are balancing the needs of our community today, so we’re equipped to meet the needs of tomorrow,” Mayor Harding said.
“For the first time in a long time, Council has a strategic long-term plan for Ipswich and is now delivering on that vision."
“This Budget is a positive step towards a bright and prosperous future for Ipswich.”
Mayor Harding said the 2021-2022 Budget was part of the new Annual Plan, which aligns to the iFuture document: a 20-year community vision and council’s new five-year corporate plan.
