Neither this site nor ConsultiQ is endorsed by Council. Source: 2026–27 Long-Term Financial Plan, base scenario, pages 1, 5 and 9.
What does the next decade look like?
Choose a fund, then select any financial year. Values are from Council's published base scenario, not a prediction by ConsultiQ.

Fund assignments in this explorer are provisional, based on the project description. General Fund attribution for unverified projects is not established. Capital grants and other external contributions may be restricted; a deferral is not automatically a General Fund saving.
