As part of the annual budget, expenditure related to Council-owned and managed assets is called the Capital Works Program.
The Capital Works Program is made up of infrastructure, property, plant & equipment-related projects.
We prioritise projects based on community need and Council’s Asset Management Strategy.
These projects can be classed as:
- renewal
- upgrade
- expansion
- new acquisition
