Financial Sustainability

Why financial sustainability matters

Financial sustainability is about ensuring Council has the resources to deliver the services, facilities and infrastructure our community relies on — not just today, but well into the future.

Like households and businesses, Council faces ongoing cost pressures such as rising prices, asset maintenance, and community expectations for quality services. Managing these responsibly means balancing income and expenditure, investing wisely, and finding efficiencies wherever possible.

 

The impact on our community
A financially sustainable Council can:

  • Maintain essential services such as roads, parks, libraries, and community facilities.
  • Invest in infrastructure that supports growth and improves liveability.
  • Plan ahead with confidence, knowing that resources will be available when needed.
  • Minimise financial shocks from unexpected events such as natural disasters or economic change.

Financial sustainability underpins Council’s ability to deliver on Our Plan for the Future and ensures that Temora Shire remains a strong, vibrant, and resilient community.
