Our places

The upgrade of Howard Dawson Reserve playground in Glen Iris was completed ahead of schedule and opened at the start of the December school holidays.

Our environment

Council co-hosted the Electrify Your Life Expo to promote ways to reduce household emissions and inspire change in our community. Over 2,000 people attended the expo at the Hawthorn Arts Centre.

Our Council

Council implemented a new Oracle Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system as part of the Transforming Boroondara Program, making it easier for the community to contact Council and track requests.

Financial snapshot

The overall financial position at 31 December 2025 is satisfactory with a working capital ratio of 5.51 to 1 (includes cash contingency for emergency response works and reserve funds of $32.74 million).

The year-to-date surplus result of $137.69 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 $29.88 million which is $7.24 million below year to date budget phasing of $37.12 million.
Council’s year to date performance in gross priority project expenditure is $8.44 million which is $354,000 above year to date budget phasing of $8.08 million. The difference relates to timing of expenditure on various projects.
