Revenue and Rating Plan 2025–29

The Revenue and Rating Plan 2025–29 outlines the strategies for generating income to deliver on the Council Plan over a 4-year period. The plan explains how we calculate revenue, and divide the burden between ratepayers and users of our facilities and services.

The Revenue and Rating Plan is required by the Local Government Act 2020 to cover a minimum period of 4 years following each Council election. The plan aligns with the Boroondara Community Plan and Council Plan, ensuring that revenue strategies meet the objectives set out in these documents.

Our revenue sources include:

• rates and charges
• waste and garbage charges
• grants from other levels of government
• statutory fees and fines
• user fees
• cash and non-cash contributions from other parties (i.e. developers, community groups)
• sale of assets.
