CBCity 2029: Delivery Program and Operational Plan

The Operational Plan expands on the Delivery Program by providing more information on the specific services and projects Council will provide during 2026/27, with detailed capital and operational budgets, and a schedule of fees and charges to be levied. 

The Operational Plan organises all of Council’s activities and projects into 28 Services, providing a clear view of the costs and resources needed to provide them. 

Key priorities for the 2026/27 financial year include:

• Investing in essential services with a focus on improving the cleanliness of our streets, town centres and parks;
• A focus on illegal dumping including a 'Love Where You Live' neighbourhood campaign;
• Using technology to enhance the customer experience across a number of key areas; 
• Preparations for a new Food Organics and Garden Organics (FOGO) waste service;
• Advocating for the best community outcomes from NSW Government infrastructure and initiatives; and 
• Exciting projects to enliven and grow investment in the City.

A capital budget of $121.7 million will include: 

• $44.6 million for renewing roads, bridges and improving the footpath network;
• $20.0 million for upgrading community buildings and facilities; 
• $9.9 million for enhancing local parks, playgrounds and sporting facilities;
• $6.7 million for improvements to the existing stormwater network; and
• $5.5 million for renewing town centres.
