Background

The Revenue and Rating Plan 2022-26 outlines how Banyule Council will generate income to build our Budget and deliver the Council Plan and Banyule's Community Vision 2041.

It considers:

  • how we generate income through rates
  • service charges that might be applied on services such as waste or recycling
  • fees and charges for services and programs
  • contributions from developers
  • revenue generated from Council assets
  • grants from other governments

Council proposed some changes to rates in the draft Revenue and Rating Plan 2022-26, including a rate waiver for ratepayers experiencing financial hardship and the separation from your general rates a public waste rate and a kerbside waste rate. To read about what you told us in response to these changes, check out the consultation findings report.
