Consultation for this project has concluded. Wyndham City Council’s Annual Plan and Budget for 2019/20 was adopted by Council on Tuesday 25 June 2019.
This consultation is now complete. Thank you to everyone who participated.
Wyndham City's Annual Plan and Budget 2020/21 was adopted at the Council Meeting on 18 August 2020. This year’s budget looks a little different to what we’re normally used to. A key focus this year is providing support to our residents and local businesses hardest hit by COVID-19, while also continuing to deliver the services and infrastructure our growing community needs. For more information on this year’s budget, or to read the document, visit https://www.wyndham.vic.gov.au/annualplanbudget2020-2021
Each year, Wyndham City Council prepares an Annual Plan and Budget which outlines the priorities for Council to deliver in the next financial year.
Getting feedback from our community on their priorities for their local area is a vital part of this process as it helps guide our decision making.
The impacts of COVID-19 on the local, national and world economy are well documented with a recessionary outlook across the globe. Stock markets have declined sharply to pre Global Financial Crisis (GFC) levels, reflecting the volatility of the current economic environment.
Locally, we will not be immune to this. Many small and medium businesses across a diverse range of industry sectors are suffering from a reduction in revenues which in turn have a direct effect on local employment.
The reduction in employment will have flow on effects on households and local communities, so it is therefore imperative for Council during this unprecedented time, to deliver a financially responsible 2020/21 budget which prioritises support for our local community, and those hit hardest by the impacts of the COVID-19 situation.
Council is resolute in ensuring that it can make a measurable impact to address community need across various sectors of our municipality, while remaining fiscally responsible and ensuring we continue to deliver critical services; at a time when Council revenues will also be significantly impacted.
We are confident that we are being agile in our response to the current situation. We have quickly scaled up the services most needed by our community, while finding new and innovative ways to deliver business as usual within the confines of social distancing requirements. Our Wyndham 2040 Vision provides us with strong evidence that our community prioritises economic resilience and employment growth as a major focus of Council’s role and ongoing responsibilities towards its community.
The Proposed Annual Plan and Budget for 2020-21 outlines a $103.8 million capital works spend, alongside an operating revenue of $351.07 million (excluding developer contributions, non-monetary assets, capital grants and net loss on disposal of property, infrastructure, plant and equipment) and operating expenditure of $293.27 million (excluding depreciation and amortisation) to deliver over 60 different services to the people who live work and visit the city.
Thank you to all the members of the Wyndham community who contributed ideas for the Proposed Annual Plan and Budget.

Ideas for the Annual Plan and Budget 2020/21
Through the Annual Plan and Budget community consultation for the 2020/21 financial year we are looking for big and small ideas for Council to deliver that will make a difference to our community and help shape our city.
Ideas must be Council led and delivered; on Council owned/managed land or buildings (i.e. community centres, libraries, parks, open space etc); and/or relate to services Council provides.
Public transport, schools and many of the roads in Wyndham are the responsibility of the State and Federal Governments, and shopping precincts are owned by commercial entities. While we don’t deliver these projects, Council plays a key role in advocating to the State and Federal Governments on behalf of our community. Please see our advocacy strategy for more information.
Ideas contributed by the community will be assessed against the themes of the Wyndham City Plan 2017-21 and Council’s plans and strategies. These documents guide the work that we do and the decisions we make. Please consider these when developing your idea.
Multiple ideas are accepted, please submit a new form for each idea.
All ideas are required to be submitted by 5pm, Friday 25 October 2019. All ideas submitted must met the assessment criteria.
Wyndham maintenance requests
If you have a request in relation to road / footpath maintenance, maintenance of outdoor spaces, parking, nature strips, graffiti, dumped rubbish or the like, you can lodge this with our Customer Service Team for action. Find out more.
