The 2024–2025 Budget was adopted by Isaac Regional Council on 26 June 2024.

Mayor’s message

From our mailboxes to our shopping trolleys, our interest rates continue to rise, and our groceries, petrol, insurance, and electricity bills increase. Council is not immune from the cost pressures facing many families across the region, with considerable increases to Council’s electricity, insurance, and fuel bills.

We’ve done our best to make sure that despite all of these increases we have not passed the full cost on to our hardworking ratepayers.

We’ve kept our increase to $5 a week or less for 97% of residential ratepayers.

Although rural land valuations have risen significantly, most of our Isaac rural landowners will experience an increase in their rates of 5% or less.

Councillors have worked closely with the executive leadership team to deliver a budget that ensures we live within our means while we grow together to serve better.

For the first time since the pandemic, we will deliver a record investment in roads with 45 percent of our $55.5 million capital works program dedicated to our vast network.

This is all about working to maintain key frontline services on which our communities rely and supporting our communities and their futures.

Councillors and officers look forward to working with the community to deliver this investment and to continue our support in maintaining key frontline services during these challenging times.
