"Council has focused on core responsibilities, essential services and the careful stewardship of community assets.

"These non-essential projects include major repairs at the Whitton Museum and detailed design and development approval for implementing the Sports Precinct Masterplan and the holiday cabins at Gogeldrie Weir. We have also delayed the detailed design of social housing by a year." Agreed capital works for 2026/27 include road and infrastructure renewal, asset maintenance, and delivery of a new dog park. Provision has also been re-confirmed to progress enabling infrastructure for a potential affordable housing development at the former Brobenah Rd caravan site / dog park, subject to grant funding.

"Council will consider pursuing a Special Variation in the first half of 2026/27, supported by independent expert Professor Joseph Drew.
