City Plan and Budget
Planning for our City |
This year's City Plan and Budget outlines what we are doing to achieve real improvements in the quality of life for people living and working in the City of Canterbury. We will spend nearly $102 million on a range of services, projects and infrastructure that will contribute to our environment, vibrant town centres, local businesses and community harmony. This year, we'll open a new multipurpose community centre at Punchbowl, upgrade Belmore and Punchbowl Town town centres, improve playground facilities, and continue working on the health of the Cooks River with gross pollutant traps and the reconstruction of sections of the river foreshore. Like most other businesses, council has been affected by the global economic downturn bringing consequences over which council has little or no control. Notwithstanding this, Council has adopted a budget that continues to deliver the high quality services and facilities residents expect. |
