2024-25 Draft Integrated Plans

Council’s draft Integrated Plans for 2024-25 include the draft Operational Plan, draft Revenue Policy, and draft Fees and Charges.

About the documents

Draft Operational Plan - focuses on 2024-25 and includes the projects and activities Council will undertake. Includes a detailed budget and capital works program for the period.

Draft Revenue Policy - outlines what Council proposes to charge for general rates and water, sewer and waste access and consumption fees for 2024-25.

Draft Fees and Charges - covers all the fees and charges Council levies for things like venue hire, sportsgrounds, aquatic centre, development applications and much more. It covers the 2024-25 financial year.

Draft Service Statements 2024-25 - outlines all activities undertaken by Council and how they are funded.

Draft Long Term Financial Plan 2024-34 - the purpose of the LTFP is to inform decision-making and to demonstrate how Council will achieve financial sustainability over the long term.

Donations Policy - was amended last year and no further changes are required. In 2023 Category H (No Fee Hire for Council Premises) was added to enable a wider and more equitable use of community facilities, especially for community groups who are unable to afford to hire facilities. Current facilities available for hire are:

• Axis Youth Centre
• Letchworth Community Centre
• Jerrabomberra Community Centre
• Googong Community Centre
• The Old Braidwood Library (No fee community hire coordinated by BYPAA, paid hire managed by Council)

The use of this Category is gaining traction and popularity. Additions of the reading room at the Heritage Library in Queanbeyan and the meeting room in the pavilion at the Bungendore Sports Hub are recommended. It is also recommended that, in special circumstances and approved by the General Manager, the Bicentennial Hall (The B) may be hired through Category H.

A table has been included in the Donations Policy which shows the various community groups who received donations for rates and charges in 2023-24 under Category C for rates and charges. The table shows the value of further donations in 2024-25
