Roads & infrastructure

Who pays for the infrastructure already here?

The 2025 asset plan estimates an annual renewal target of $7.797 million against a $5.185 million contribution, producing a modelled $2.612 million annual gap.

About this decision

The 2025 asset plan estimates an annual renewal target of $7.797 million against a $5.185 million contribution, producing a modelled $2.612 million annual gap. The analysis uses year-end 2024 information. Those figures are a planning estimate, not a current cash deficit or a debt balance. The useful question is what changed after the plan: which assets are at highest risk, which works were funded, and what trade-offs Council chose. Growth projects and recreation expansion should carry their future operating and replacement obligations beside their construction costs.

What the evidence establishes

The choices on the table

These are editorial alternatives to test, not attributed candidate promises.

Stage a defined renewal increase

Editorial proposal: pair any phased increase with project priorities and household impacts.

Revisit service levels and scope

Editorial proposal: compare maintenance standards and asset scope transparently; lower funding may mean service trade-offs.
