Despite rate capping and a $17 million Covid hit, Greater Dandenong will spend big on capital works in its draft 2021-‘22 budget.
Residential rates bills – including waste charges – will rise on average by $27.60 (up 1.92 per cent).
The median household rates will be $1467.
Meanwhile, commercial businesses get some rates relief – down by an average of 3.9 per cent.
The council’s proposed $63 million capital works program is up by $20 million on 2020-‘21. It is being presented as a stimulus measure.
“Capital spending will stimulate local employment, businesses and suppliers,” chief executive John Bennie stated.
“The budget is one that strikes a good balance between ensuring Council continues to provide operational services and support to the community and a capital spending program to provide much needed local infrastructure.”
