Financial Budget

The 2026/2027 Greater Shepparton City Council budget has been built on the priorities established in the 2025-2029 Council Plan and 2025-2035 Financial Plan.

The 2026/2027 Budget strives to maintain financial sustainability, while delivering services, facilities and a full capital works program to ensure the region continues to thrive now and into the future. The Budget outlines the most practical way forward for the next financial year to ensure the region’s continued success and prosperity.

The Budget delivers an operating surplus of $3.68 million, improving on last year’s result by $1.51 million. This strong financial forecast includes $3.12 million in strategic land sales and $570,000 in genuine operational savings.

Council continues to invest in the infrastructure that matters to residents. As the region grows, so too will its infrastructure, with the Budget providing $55.2 million for Capital Works. Seventy-five per cent of the Capital Works program will be directed towards renewing and maintaining existing infrastructure to ensure assets remain safe, fit for purpose and sustainable into the future.

Council is looking forward to achieving the objectives set out in the 2026/2027 Budget and continuing the positive growth of our great region.
