Moyne Shire Council's draft long-term financial plan 2026-2035 provides a 10-year financial outlook, aligning with the Council Plan 2025–2029 and ensuring Council can continue to reliably deliver high-quality services, maintain and renew community assets, and invest in infrastructure while navigating a challenging economic environment.
The plan confirms that Council is currently in a sound financial position. However, it also identifies several ongoing challenges, including:
Increasing cost pressures
A rate cap that does not align with key expenditure growth
Continued reliance on recurrent grants
To address these challenges, Council will need to adopt strong strategic actions that maintain financial sustainability while continuing to meet community expectations.
The plan builds on feedback received during consultation for the 2025–26 Budget and Council Plan, which emphasised the importance of looking after existing infrastructure while planning for future growth.
Key features of the plan include:
A continued focus on asset renewal, ensuring existing community facilities and infrastructure (including roads, footpaths, bridges and drainage) is well maintained.
Borrowings of $2.4 million in 2026–27 to support major renewal projects.
A balanced approach between renewing existing assets and investing in new works.
Strategic actions to maintain financial sustainability and deliver services within rate cap constraints.
The draft long-term financial plan will be open for feedback for 3 weeks from 24 September 2025 to 15 October 2025, with the final version to be presented for adoption at Council’s October 2025 meeting.
