B
A
For
all
those
that
are
watching,
I
just
want
you
to
realize
that
I'm
really
sorry
we've
had
technical,
different
difficulties
with
our
speaker
system.
We
are
still
trying
to
fix
this
so
for
tonight
we
will
do
our
best
if
the
counsellors
would
please
stand.
C
A
E
A
B
B
B
B
I
understand
that
we,
when
we
work
through
it,
that
you'll
see
some
figures
that
have
moved,
maybe
in
comparison
to
the
current
year's
forecast
out
to
which
the
the
one
that
has
been
highlighted
to
me
on
many
occasions
when
I
refer
to
staff
and
councillors
is
the
employee
costs
are
going
down
in
the
next
year,
which
is
the
result
of
the
cessation
of
the
age
and
disability
service
and
also
not
having
the
working
for
victoria
grant
that
we
received
in
the
past
year.
B
B
B
We
are
also
very
aware
that
the
construction
industry
has
got
challenges
at
the
moment
with
sourcing
of
housing
products,
and
there
is
a
one
percent
increase
in
rate
growth
for
our
property,
valuations
and
property
collections
for
rates
on
top
of
the
normal
rate
increase.
If
we
have
chosen
to
follow
the
minister's
set
rate
rise,
we
are
not
applying
for
any
additional
rate
increases
above
the
red
cap
levy.
B
The
projections
for
the
next
three
years
do
have
a
zen
deficit
for
the
next
three
years,
but
I'm
hoping
that
we'll
be
in
a
more
positive
position
if
we
continue
to
receive
grants
and
also
collect
some
more
revenue
reward
rates
over
our
approach.
As
always
to
do
the
conservative
approach
so
that
we
don't
overspend
it's
basically
how
I've
addressed
the
compiling
of
this
information.
B
If
you
move
through
to
page
28,
which
is
an
enormous
pepperworks
program
proposed
next
year,
15
million
and
throughout
the
year
we've
had
discussions
about
what
is
the
priority
for
the
community
and
based
on
the
community
plan,
the
council
plan
and
the
capital
works
programs
considering
the
condition
of
our
assets.
B
The
highlight,
obviously,
is
that
we're
going
to
have
15
million
dollars
spent
with
over
8
million
on
infrastructure
assets,
which
is
excellent
for
our
renewal
effort
to
be
increased,
we're
proposing
to
take
a
million
dollars
borrowing,
but
otherwise
the
grant
funding
will
fund.
7.2
million
dollars
of
the
15
million
and
6.9
will
be
council
cash
further
through
the
document
there
is
4.5.
I
think
it
is
that
outlines
the
actual
projects
which
people
may
like
to
go
through
and
see.
What
are
the
individual
items
that
we're
proposing?
B
I'm
happy
to
take
any
questions,
but
I
put
this
out
to
you
with
the
thought
that
the
community
is
able
to
give
us
feedback
as
outlined
in
the
report.
We
have
a
process
that
we
put
out
for
advertising
to
inform
the
community
and
they're
able
to
make
submissions
as
well,
which
the
council
will
come
together
to
consider
those
submissions
before
we
actually
proceed
on
the
final
budget.
G
I
have
one
question
about
the
process:
the
community
consultation
process,
the
community
information
session
conducted
the
proposed
information.
F
That
the
plan
is
to
have
that
on
next
thursday
night
early
process
of
the
budget.
There's
an
information
session
conducted
in
this
room
here
with
an
overview
given
by
staff,
as
the
manager
of
finance
myself
and
the
ceo
council,
represented
by
the
muslim
there's
unavailable
that
the
deputy
mayor
is
going
to
be
asked
to
attend.
Anyone
interested
can
come
in
here
overview
and
then
they'll
have
the
opportunity
to
ask
questions
as.
E
Yeah
candy
thanks
for
the
budget,
that's
how
it
all
works
out.
Why
it's
supposed
to
just
going
through
the
document
on
page
35,
estimated
value
reached
like
a
class
of
land
and
the
estimated
total
values
land
compared
to
its
previous
financial
year,
there's
been
some
considerable
percentage
increases.
E
I
know,
for
example,
the
top
one
residential
2122
1.37
billion
dollars
next
year
is
going
to
be
1.85
billion,
477
000
increase
now,
given
that
our
rates
based
on
cid
with
a
34
increase.
How
does
that
work?
And
I
know
that
you'll
have
an
answer
that
would
just
bother
you,
but
it's
just
one
that
stands
out
to
me.
You
wouldn't
mind
elaborating.
B
I
have
to
elaborate
on
that.
It's
really
101
rate
collection
process.
It
doesn't
matter
what
the
increase
in
the
land
value
and
the
capital
improved
value.
With
the
capping
on
the
rate
income,
we
can
only
increase
the
five
percentage
that's
been
agreed
to,
so
it
may
go
up
30,
but
if
the
percentage
is
1.75,
I
can
only
raise
1.75
more
than
in
the
previous
year,
allowing
for
supplementary
valuations
as
well.
B
So
if,
if
the
valuation's
double
the
rates,
don't
double,
there
will
be
movement
between
asset
categories
and
that
particular
page
that
you're
referring
to
outlines
the
various
categories
that
we
do
have
with
vacant,
land,
business,
residential
township
and
rural
township,
and
so
each
segment
of
our
municipality
contributes
a
percentage
of
the
value
of
the
total
rates.
So
there
can
be
movements
within
each
segment,
and
so
some
people
might
have
higher
valuations
and
some
people
might
have
lower
valuations.
D
B
That
our
valuers
are
planning
to
come
to
a
session
with
the
councils
to
explain
the
movement
in
the
stage
for
valuations,
and
I
was
actually
talking
to
the
valuer
today
and
he
was
outlining.
There's
been
a
substantial
increase
of
23
across
land
values
in
the
current
year,
which
is
a
massive
rise.
So
people
can
be
assured
that
we
are
not
increasing
their
rates
just
based
on
capital,
improving
improvements,
but
we
have
to
do
a
proportional
increase
across
the
total
value
that
you're
able
to
place.
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair
councillors.
Being
such
a
fluid
document
is
what
a
budget
is.
This
is
an
example
of
us
being
a
little
bit
conservative
in
our
approach.
I'll
refer
to
a
media
release
which
came
out
very
late
this
afternoon.
On
page
three,
my
opening
addresses
the
budget.
One
of
the
initiatives
that
I
mentioned
there
is
developing
an
economic
diversification,
the
honourable
marianne
thomas.
H
The
andrews
labor
government
is
supporting
a
further
nine
towns
across
victoria
to
transition
away
from
native
timber
harvesting,
with
targeted
funding
to
develop
new
economic
strategies
and
job
opportunities.
Minister
for
agriculture,
marianne
thomas
was
at
marine
duty
today
to
announce
the
latest
recipients
of
the
labor
government's
local
development
strategy
grants
program.
H
Our
council
advocated
very
strongly
for
inclusion
in
this
particular
scheme
and
we're
very
very
pleased
to
obviously
receive
the
funding
from
the
state
government.
Local
development
strategy
grants
program
supports
towers
to
diversify,
diversify
where
native
timber
harvesting
is
a
significant
source
of
jobs
and.
H
A
C
And
to
support
this
document
going
out
for
community
engagement
and
review,
and
I
look
forward
to
hearing
the
submissions
and
the
feedback
from
our
community
and
look
forward
to
getting
this
budget
done
for
this
financial
year.
Thank
you.
Thank.
E
B
G
Services
for
focus
before
we
go
to
the
community
community
to
ask
for
their
opinion
on
this
drug
budget,
principally,
I
would
like
to
make
sure
we
have
a
budget
that
reflects
our
communities
needs
and
interests
and
has
factored
in
what
they
have
told
us
already
in
recent
service.
G
I
believe
that
the
budget
preparation
has
not
paid
enough
attention
to
some
key
elements
from
our
community
inputs.
We
have
received
to
our
community
plan
long-term
financial
plan
and
community
mission
focused
community
engagements
conducted
throughout
last
year.
G
Unfortunately,
I
cannot
see
the
communities
priorities
max
allocations
in
this
budget
and
for
the
next
four
years
project
to
spend
expenditure
plan
to
spend
a
good
part
in
the
previous
financial
plan
has
reduced
5000
for
next
four
years.
Also,
20
of
the
capital
expenditure
for
2022-23
goes
towards
funding
the
non-essential
cinema
project.
G
G
So
there
are
some
positives
in
this
project,
as
well
as
ceo
just
announced,
especially
the
expenses
to
draft
the
indoor,
recreation
center
drawings
station
freezing
plan,
the
capital
expenditure
for
dog
park
and
the
economic
development
plan,
and
I
would
like
to
acknowledge
those
positive
impacts
to
the
community.
Overall,
I
say
we
can
do
better
and
we
must
do
better
for
better.
Thank
you.
D
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
mayor.
I
am
speaking
to
endorse
the
budget
to
be
released
for
public
consultation.
D
As
councillors
are
aware,
under
the
local
government
act,
we
are
obligated
to
do
this
and
there's
a
time
frame
set.
So
I
think
if
councillors
have
got
an
issue
with
the
budget,
you
know
amendments
should
have
been
made
already
and
if
it's
not
too
late.
So
when
the
when
the
submissions
come
back
from
the
public,
that
is
the
time
for
people
who
aren't
happy
with
the
budget
to
to
put
their
amendments
forward
and
produce
a
budget
that
we
can.
D
I
Thank
you
chair.
I
must
apologize
for
being
late.
I'm
duties
just
catching
up
one
week
at
the
moment,
because
it's
just
raining,
farmers
are
obviously
getting
ready
for
another,
probably
the
best
break.
We've
had
in
many
years
farming,
I'm
astonished
to
hear
from
council
governorate
tonight
he
mustn't
have
have
you
got
a
copy
of
this
proposed
budget
2022-23,
because
it's
the
best
budget
I've
seen
in
council's
history
that
I've
been
in
council,
I'm
going
to
look
at
15
million
dollars
where
the
capital
works
being
spent.
I
I
have
to
thank
cathy
so
much
for
getting
a
budget
together.
I
look
at
that
renewal,
fantastic.
I
look
at
roads
for
the
road
votes
recovery
or
look
at
the
funding
for
roads.
Fantastic
look
at
the
money
we
put
in
the
footpaths
we're
putting
more
money
in
the
last
three
years
than
I've
ever
seen.
Go
in
by
looking
at
the
council
here,
councilwoman
your.
I
I
I'd
like
to
see
what
our
ratepay's
going
to
say
when
they
do
go
out,
because
I
think
it's
fantastic
and
I
think
if
our
council
would
start
a
little
brother,
barbara
and
look
at
the
guys
here
in
the
back
there
they're
going
to
be
overworked
in
the
next
two
or
three
years.
Well,
I
think
we're
doing
a
pretty
good
job
and
our
staff
are
doing
a
good.
B
B
Having
had
further
discussions
from
the
october
adoption
of
the
first
plan
and
the
feedback
that
we
received
and
the
opportunities
that
had
arisen
with
council
receiving
grants
for
the
lrcif
fund
stage,
one
two
and
three
has
enabled
some
projects
to
be
moved
around
and
some
projects
to
be
accelerated,
more
funds
to
be
put
into
bridges
and
roads,
and
we
have
also
realigned
some
of
the
waste
services
costs
for
building
of
cell
3a
and
3b
and
the
rehabilitation
so
that
there
is
a
review
of
a
10-year
plan.
B
Covert
has
thrown
some
challenges
in
for
us
and
it
is
difficult
to
project
10
years
in
an
environment
where
things
have
changed
every
six
months.
But
the
assumptions
that
we
have
undertaken
are
included
in
the
document
and
it
just
gives
us
the
guiding
tool
to
think
about
where
we're
going,
and
I
think
it's
actually
an
excellent
start
on
the
path
of
trying
to
identify
where
resources
should
be
allocated
and
where
funding
can
be
stored.
B
There's
a
very
clear
list
of
projects
that
are
not
included
in
the
financial
plan
because
we
are
yet
to
receive
potential
grants
to
help
us
deliver
that.
But
it
has
impacted
on
the
current
year's
spend
where
we've
included
big
allocations
to
be
shovel
ready
for
some
really
major
projects
anticipated
over
the
next
hopefully
number
of
years.
But
it
certainly
puts
the
mindset
into
the
officers
and
the
councillors
as
to
where
we're
moving
ahead.
And
what
are
our
priorities
that
we're
able
to
talk
to
the
community
about
it's?
A
detailed
document.
G
B
Happy
to
take
questions,
it's
something
that
you
can
flip
through
and
look
at
and
realize
that
over
the
next
three
or
four
years.
Whilst
you
may
not
be
counsellors,
there
is
a
storyline
that
will
go
on
from
here
and
that
you
are
able
to
impact
further
on
than
your
current
term,
and
we
really
do
look
forward
to
planning
our
resources
and
and
realizing
what
commitments
we
do
have
with
our
existing
infrastructure
and
where
there
are
opportunities
to
renew
our
infrastructure
with
funding
or
other
sources
revenue.
B
We
will
prioritize
accordingly.
I'm
really
pleased
that
we
review
this
yearly.
It's
not
a
requirement
that
the
council
had
to
do
this
every
year,
but
I
think
it's
a
really
positive
step
forward
that
we
stand
back
and
look
at
what
assumptions
we've
made.
What's
changed
in
the
world
in
the
last
12
months
has.
E
G
Thank
you.
I
have
one
question.
We
are
working
at
the
moment
from
the
federal
creation
center,
the
whole
master
plan
and
the
development
of
the
drawings.
I
understand
that
we
had
this
200
000
dollars
to
spend
on
the.
H
Thank
you
for
the
question
council.
Just
through
the
chair,
the
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
councillors
recall.
We
decided
to
leave
that
in
there
just
in
case
we
were
not
successful
with
a
grant
to
redevelop
the
work
because
there
was,
or
it
was
identified,
that
the
roof
does
need
some
work.
Exact
councillors
recall
the
initial
estimate
I
think
was
closer
to
seventy
thousand
dollars,
but
in
all
reality
it
was
two
hundred
thousand
dollars.
So
once
again
we're
taking
a
conservative
approach
and
decided
to
leave
the
200
000
of
the
long-term
financial
plan.
H
But
we
are
working
towards
we're
very,
very
hopeful
that
we'll
get
the
grant
funding
to
actually
complete
the
project
and
if.
E
E
B
Chair
kelly,
thanks
to
you
and
your
team,
that's
a
huge
project.
Doing
a
budget.
It's
wavy
on
me
so
well
done
appreciate
it
for
your
hard
work.
But
I
guess
my
just
a
comment
with
a
bit
of
a
question.
Is
that,
given
the
situation
economically
at
the
moment
that
we're
all
facing,
it
must
have
been
very
challenging
to
write
this
financial
plan
to
cover
the
next
10
years?
I
know
we
did
it.
We
did
it
towards
the
end
of
last
year,
but
do
you
think
that
there's
enough
wiggle
room
in
that
plan?
B
I
know
you
just
said
it's
pretty
fluid
in
our
plan
to
cover
unforeseen
circumstances.
You
know
increasing
interest
rates,
national
natural
disasters,
which
we've
seen
up
in
who
can
plan
for
that
I
know
and
inflation
just
I've
just
interesting
results.
Please
thank
you.
B
And
that's
why
we
put
in
assumptions-
and
we
are-
we
have
lots
of
robust
discussions
about
the
value
of
the
dollar
currently,
so
we
rely
on
the
federal
government's
treasury
guidelines
and
all
of
their
projections
future
years,
I'm
happy
to
say
that
thinkpro,
our
special
association
also
draws
together
a
number
of
experts
who
talk
about
what's
projected
ahead
and
we
also
project
on
base
for
salaries
and
other
material
items
that
will
move
the
things
in
the
last
few
years
that
have
created
challenges
that
I
foresee
could
create
future
challenges.
B
The
commitment
for
the
trying
to
reduce
our
rubbish
going
in
the
ground
means
that
there
can
be
costs
associated
with
alternate
ways
of
disposing
of
things
and
who
would
have
known
you
know,
10
years
ago,
when
I
was
doing
budgets
that
wasn't
an
issue
just
did
you
waste
it
off?
You
went
and
planned
for
the
next
one
to
be
built
and
continue
on,
so
I'm
happy
to
say
that
we
do
review
this
yearly
and
I
think
it's
a
great
initiative
that
will
stop
pause
and
think
about
what
might
be
coming
in
the
future.
B
I
know
that
without
the
impact
of
covert,
I
don't
think
there
would
have
been
anywhere
near
the
high
tea
savvy
that
we
are
now
with
communications
being
able
to
be
watched
council
meeting
at
home
from
your
living
room
without
even
having
to
drive
here
and
see
the
agendas
on
the
web
and
all
of
the
magnificence
that
have
come
out
of
the
people
who
do
I.t,
which
builds
us
to
be
more
responsive
and
also
to
have
greater
opportunities
to
use
our
dollar
to
deliver
services
in
the
best
way.
B
All
of
those
things
that
you
mentioned
are
a
true
challenge,
but
that's
part
of
planning.
If
you
don't
set
yourself
some
sort
of
goal,
then
you
can't
measure
where
your
output
is,
and
it's
also
reliable
to
just
stop
and
pause
and
think
about
work
practices.
B
Community
engagement
is
massively
different
to
what
it
was
maybe
30
years
ago,
when
I
first
started
with
the
government
and
the
opportunities
for
people
to
input
and
suggest
items
and
the
other
exciting
part
of
the
delivery
over
the
next
10
years
is
that
local
government
2020
is
well
placed
to
be
sharing
skills
and
services.
That
will
hopefully
mean
that
we
aren't
doing
79
different
versions
of
the
same
thing
that
we
can
have
some
savings
and
learnings
from
each
other.
So
I
hope
that
helps
yes.
C
Thank
you
again
to
you
and
your
team
for
pulling
this
document
together.
I
think
this
is
one
of
the
best
documents
in
council
today,
I'm
not
financially
savvy,
I'm
no
guru
in
finance
by
any
stretch,
but
this
document
when
people
say
to
me,
when
my
rates
go
up,
what
does
it
pay
for?
What
does
that
go
towards?
C
So
I
think
this
is
a
really
good
document,
really
important
document
and
and
it's
a
live
living
document
as
we
know-
and
I
look
forward
to
this-
going
out
community
feedback
and
and
and
for
council
to
take
on
board
that
feedback
and
to
see
what
we
can
do
when
it
comes
time
to
adopt
it.
This
is
a
really
good
document
and
I
hope
everyone
at
home
watching
does
take
the
time
to
download
it.
I
Kathy,
thank
you
very
much
and
to
think
that
you
can
sit
down
and
it
must
be
daunting
to
sit
down
and
do
a
ten
year
plan
in
the
meds
look
you're,
probably
I'm
not
going
through
it
completely
line
by
line
probably
just
parts
there
that
we
could
pick
that
we
that
could
be
better
and
parts
that
that
you
need
accolades
on.
But
but
generally
it's
a
it's
a
living
document.
I
mean
change
your
asset
renewal
or
charge
you
it's
a
document
that
the
ceo
can
use,
the
general
manager
can
use.
I
Staff
can
use
for
a
couple
of
years
time.
When
you
have
a
change
of
counsellors,
the
the
new
councillors
can
use
as
councillor
king
said
as
far
as
the
rate
payers.
They
can
use
it
and
then
it's
just
got.
It's
got
so
many
good
points
in
it
and
it's
going
to
got
things
in
it
that
we
don't
like
it's
going
to
have
cash
flows.
I
Our
cash
flow
protection
is
going
you
know,
and
in
in
hours,
in
our
time
over
the
10
years,
we're
going
to
have
end
up
with
which
quite
a
bit
of
money
to
spend.
I
mean,
but
it's
just
such
a
good
document,
and
I'm
glad
that
we
were
forced
into
doing
it
really
well
and
when
it
just
shows
everybody
housekeeping
management,
the
whole
others,
whether
it's
your
committee
or
whether
it's
staffing
whatever
it
is
everything
comes
back
to
that
document.
G
Thank
you,
chair
kathy
and
the
staff
who
everyone
was
involved.
G
G
In
addition,
I
would
like
to
highlight
the
importance
of
adjusted
underlying
results
and
there's
a
linear
ratio
of
cancers
in
this
financial
plan.
Adjusted
underlying
visa
is
budgeted
to
be
minus
3.3,
on
average,
from
2024
to
2032
to
the
903,
which
indicates
a
huge
operational
risk.
In
my
opinion,
in
our
finances
24-
and
this
also
indicates
we
are
heavily
dependent
on
grounds
for
mentally
operations.
G
G
G
G
A
I'd
just
like
to
congratulate
you
kathy
and
your
team
and
the
foresight
of
our.
