The Health and Wellbeing Plan guides how we will continue to work with community members, organisations, and groups to improve health and wellbeing of Port Phillip residents.

In August 2024, we surveyed community and health providers to discover the most important 'health priority areas' over the next four years.

We prepare and present a budget for each financial year. The Annual Budget shows the income/revenue we receive and our planned spending across services and initiatives.

The Revenue and Rating Plan explains how we make decisions about raising revenue. It outlines how we allocate rates to different properties.

Our Financial Plan outlines our approach to making long-term financial decisions and measuring our performance.

The aim of this plan is to ensure that Council remains financially sustainable while maintaining our assets and services. We also aim to respond to community growth and deliver on our priorities, all within a rates capped environment. A key challenge we face is balancing our limited resources with rising operating costs.

The Financial Plan is shaped by Council’s Financial Strategy, which guides how we allocate, manage, and use our financial resources.

Council has a large and diverse portfolio of assets, including land, buildings, infrastructure (roads, footpaths, stormwater drainage, parks and public spaces etc.) and cultural assets (art and literature collections).

The Asset Plan provides an overview of how we manage these assets on behalf of our community. It shows how our assets help us to deliver our strategic priorities and services. The Asset Plan also shows how we plan to maintain, renew or upgrade our asset base over the next 10 years.
