Council endorses 2025/26 annual business plan

The City of Salisbury has endorsed its 2025/26 annual business plan, with a 4.2 per cent rate increase equating to around $1.70 per week for the average residential ratepayer - significantly lower than last year’s 6.2 per cent rise.

The $236 million budget includes a $70 million capital works program to deliver new, renewed and upgraded infrastructure that enhances community life, sport and recreation across the city.

Key projects include:

  • Installing bike pump tracks in multiple locations
  • Upgrading reserves and play spaces along Little Para Linear Park
  • Enhancing streetscapes and public spaces
  • Building new footpaths and safer pedestrian infrastructure around schools
  • Renewing local roads

In addition to delivering services for a population of around 150,000, Council also manages and maintains more than $2.3 billion in community-owned assets.

Council’s budget has been shaped by its Long-Term Financial Plan and Annual Business Plan, with a strong focus on maintaining financial responsibility while being mindful of the cost-of-living pressures many ratepayers are experiencing.
