Latest performance highlights

Community feedback from more than 5000 people helped shape our community vision and the four themes that form the foundation of the Boroondara Community Plan 2025–35.

These themes reflect what matters most to our community and set the direction for Council’s priorities over the next 10 years. We regularly track and report on our progress against these priorities and are pleased to share some recent highlights of recent progress we have made together with our community.

Our community

Kindergarten renewals

We finished renewal works at Estrella Preschool and Glass Street Kindergarten ahead of schedule, giving children and families modern, practical and accessible places to learn.

Layout variant

Gutter

Our places

Kew Junction consultation

We consulted the community to understand what they value about Kew Junction and gather ideas to improve public spaces to inform the draft Kew Junction Place Plan.

Our environment

Tree canopy and biodiversity

We planted more than 2,000 trees and 45,000 plants in biodiversity areas with support from local friends groups. This will grow canopy cover, create habitat for native wildlife and help us adapt to a hotter climate.

Our Council

Working with Swinburne

In September, about 80 students from Swinburne University participated in the Social Innovation Challenges Showcase to explore solutions for real community challenges.

Financial snapshot

The overall financial position at 31 March 2026 is sound with a working capital ratio of 4.34 to 1 (includes cash contingency for emergency response works and reserve funds of $32.74 million).

The year-to-date surplus result of $91.94 million is due to the striking of full year annual rates in August 2025. The surplus result will reduce over the course of the year as Council delivers services to the community.
Council’s year to date performance in gross capital works expenditure is $53.09 million which is $7.41 million below year to date budget phasing of $60.50 million.
Council’s year to date performance in gross priority project expenditure is $11.91 million which is $1.63 million below year to date budget phasing of $13.54 million. The difference relates to timing of expenditure on various projects.
