is
planning

use
the
rates

much-needed
community
services
and
projects.
I

but
also
the
opportunities
involved
with
delivering

works.
D
C
Thank

That's
the
second
time
for
that.
Thank
you.
Councilman
wing
and
I'll
now
run
through
a
presentation
for
everyone.
Before
we
get
into
detail
of
how
the
budget
was
developed,
I'd
like
to
provide
some
context
around
the
city
and
the
community.
We
provide
services
for
spring
bank's
estimated
resident
residential
population
of
two
hundred
and
eight
247
in
2020
makes
it
the
fifth
most
popul
populist
municipality
in
greater
melbourne,
brimbang
spans,
an
area
of
11
of
between
11
and
23,
kilometers,
west
and
northwest
of
melbourne
cbd.
C
C
C
We
also
have
over
900
hectares
of
reserves
that
include
120
nature
reserves
and
350
roadside
reserves,
as
well
as
150
playgrounds.
There
are
also
289
public
buildings.
This
just
touches
on
some
of
the
vast
array
of
assets.
Council
looks
after
we
also
deliver
much-needed
community
services
from
cradle
to
grave.
C
Brimbank
is
one
of
the
most
culturally
diverse
municipalities
in
australia,
with
almost
half
of
our
residents
born
outside
australia,
more
than
half
of
our
residents
speak
a
language
other
than
other
than
english.
At
home,
with
more
than
160
languages
represented
the
top
10
languages
other
than
english
are
vietnamese
maltese,
italian,
greek,
macedonian,
filipino
cantonese,
arabic,
punjabi
and
croatian.
C
C
The
annual
budget
is
formed
through
a
strategic
planning
process.
Essentially,
the
annual
budget
helps
to
realize
the
strategic
direction
of
the
council,
which
is
a
four-year
document
that
aligns
to
the
council
plan
and
in
front
of
us.
We
have
our
long-term
planning
framework
and
you
can
see
at
the
top.
We
talk
about
our
community
vision
over
a
period
of
10
to
20
years
through
to
a
medium
term
with
the
council
plan.
C
C
C
The
council,
the
plan,
has
four
strategic
directions:
those
strategic
directions
are
around
people
and
community,
and
here
we're
looking
to
create
a
welcoming,
safe
and
supported
community.
That
is
an
inclusive
place
for
all
the
next
strategic
direction
is
around
places
and
spaces,
and
we
want
to
create
a
livable
and
connected
neighborhood
that
supports.
C
Healthy
and
sustainable
futures,
and
and
creates
a
green
place
for
all
the
third
strategic
direction,
is
around
opportunity
and
prosperity.
And
here
we're
looking
to
create
a
future
focused,
transforming
city
where
all
the
opportu,
where
we
all
have
opportunities
to
learn
and
earn
and
to
create
a
prosperous
place
for
all.
And
the
final
strategic
direction
is
around
leadership
and
governance.
And
here
we
want
to
create
a
high
performing
organization
that
enacts
the
vision
and
decisions
of
council
through
the
delivery
of
qual
quality
and
innovative
services
and
creating
a
fairer
place
for
all.
C
C
Here
we're
having
a
look
at
our
annual
budget
from
a
incoming
expenditure
perspective.
You
can
see
some
of
the
big
areas
of
income
councils
planning
to
raise
around
234
million
in
income
with
most
of
our
income
coming
from
rates
and
charges.
Council
does
have
a
strong
reliance
on
rates
income
with
over
171
million
dollars
of
rates
income
coming
in
next
year,
compared
to
some
of
the
other
metropolitan
councils
where
they
have
other
sources
of
income
such
as
parking
meters,
and
that
but
rates
is
a
is
the
main
source
of
income
for
brin
bank.
C
C
C
C
In
2023,
it
is
proposed
that
rates
in
bring
bank
will
increase
on
average
by
1.75
and,
and
that
is
within
the
state
government's
rate
cap
based
on
the
brim
bank's
average
residential
property
value
of
650
000.
This
means
that
the
average
rates
and
charges
for
next
year
will
be
just
over
sixteen
hundred
dollars.
C
Council
has
made
every
effort
to
keep
property
rates,
user
fees
and
service
charges
as
low
as
possible.
We
have
tried
to
ensure
that
our
increases
are
for
our.
This
is
particularly
looking
at
our
user
fees
and
charges
that
they're
in
line
with
market
levels.
Users
are
not
charged
more
than
actually
spent
or
there's
a
cost.
Recovery
happening
fees
and
charges
comply
with
national
competition
policy
and
also
bring
bank
social
justice
charter.
C
What
the?
What
does
the
increase
in
rates
and
charges
pay
for
council
will
raise
approximately
171.6
million
dollars
in
in
rates
and
charges
next
year,
and
these
this
will
go
towards
maintaining
current
services
and
make
the
cost
of
some
external
influences
that
affect
our
operating
costs.
These
include
things
such
as
the
landfill
levy
payable
the
state
government
and
things
such
as
the
super
annuation
guarantee
increases.
It
also
pays
for
61.4
million
worth
of
capital
works
expenditure
to
strengthen
our
community
capacity
in
our
city
and
upgrade
facilities
and
open
spaces
to
shape
a
better
brim
bank.
C
Later,
council
rates
up
rates
are
made
up
of
several
levies
and
charges.
Each
one
is
calculated
separately
and
reflects
a
different
increase.
Our
individual
levies
and
charges
include
the
municipal
charge.
All
right
properties
pay
this
and
pay
this
charge,
and
the
amount
proposed
for
next
year
is
78.99.
C
The
public
amenities
cleansing
levy
is
the
cost
of
street
sweeping
waste
and
rubbish
collection
and
disposable
from
public
places.
All
raidable
properties
pay
this
levy.
The
levy
for
next
year
is
83.82
83.82
their
environment
charge
represents
the
cost
of
weekly
rubbish
and
fortnightly
recycling
collection,
the
annual
hard
waste
collection
and
the
state
government
landfill
levy.
C
These
charges
only
apply
to
residential
properties.
The
proposed
environmental
charges
for
next
year,
based
on
the
size,
the
bin
you
have
are
shown
there
on
the
screen
council
also
has
a
user
pay
green
waste
charge?
This
charge
applies
to
residential
properties
that
have
have
opted
to
use
council's
user
pay
for
it
only
green
waste
collection.
C
C
C
It's
gonna
spend
some
time
now
explaining
how
rates
are
calculated
and
it's
quite
a
complex
process,
but
council
uses
the
capital
improved
value
system
of
calculating
rates,
and
this
is
capital.
Improved
value
equates
similarly
to
what
the
market
value
of
your
property
is,
and
this
enables
us
to
apply
a
more
equitable
level
level
of
rates
and
charges
across
all
properties
to
calculate
the
rates
charged
on
a
property.
We
use
the
following
formula:
capital
of
capital,
improved
valuation,
multiplied
by
the
differential
rate
in
the
dollar
equals
the
total
amount
of
rates
payable
capital.
C
C
The
level
of
rate
for
those
categories
are
considered
to
provide
for
an
appropriate
contribution
to
council's
budget
expenditure.
Having
regards
to
the
characteristics
of
the
land.
For,
for
example,
we
make
we
do
charge
for
differential
rates
for
farmland,
various
categories
of
residential
properties
or
for
commercial
industrial
properties,
each
paying
a
a
different
rate
in
the
dollar.

C
generally
playgrounds
and
other
assets
require
renewal
within
15
years
by
june,
2022
council
will
have
upgraded
122
parks
and
spent
around
44
million
dollars.
Since
the
program
started
in
2008.,
most
park
upgrades
have
occurred
through
council
funding,
but
recently
the
state
government
have
provided
funding
for
new
pocket
parks
as
part
of
the
suburban
park
funding
program
council
has
also,
in
the
past,
received
money
from
melbourne
water
and
grace
greater
western
water
for
stormwater
harvesting
infrastructure
improvements
at
reserves
such
as
dempster
park
in
sunshine,
north
and
balmoral
park
in
durham.
C
Next
question
on
the
screen
is
around
under
the
heading
assets
and
property
services,
and
I
won't
read
through
this
question,
but
give
you
a
chance
to
read
it.
While
I
respond

from
the
federal

state
government
for
the
development
of
new

The
next
question
is
around
local
roads
and
asking
what
local
roads
we've
worked
on
in
the
coming

There's
there's
quite
a
list
of
local
roads
planned
to
be
worked
on
next
year
and
and
these
are
included
as

policy?
Yes

a

a
financial
hardship
policy

speak
to
our
rates
department,
we'll
go
to
help
you
in
that
area
and
council
has
a
range
of
initiatives
such
as
deferral
and
an
installment
for
rates
payments
to
help
people
having
difficulty
paying
their
rates.
