Swan Hill Rural City Council
The Local Government Act 2020 requires each council to prepare a Revenue and Rating Plan to cover a minimum period of four years following each Council election. The Revenue and Rating Plan establishes the revenue raising framework within which the Council proposes to work.
The purpose of the Revenue and Rating Plan is to determine the most appropriate and affordable revenue and rating approach for Swan Hill Rural City Council which in conjunction with other income sources will adequately finance the objectives in the Council Plan.
This plan is an important part of Council’s integrated planning framework, all of which is created to help Council achieve its vision of “a prosperous and healthy community enjoying quality facilities and services”.
Strategies outlined in this plan align with the objectives contained in the Council Plan and will feed into our budgeting and long-term financial planning documents, as well as other strategic planning documents under our Council’s strategic planning framework.
