The 2024–2025 Budget was adopted by Isaac Regional Council on 26 June 2024.

Mayor’s message

From our mailboxes to our shopping trolleys, our interest rates continue to rise, and our groceries, petrol, insurance, and electricity bills increase. Council is not immune from the cost pressures facing many families across the region, with considerable increases to Council’s electricity, insurance, and fuel bills.

We’ve done our best to make sure that despite all of these increases we have not passed the full cost on to our hardworking ratepayers.

We’ve kept our increase to $5 a week or less for 97% of residential ratepayers.

Although rural land valuations have risen significantly, most of our Isaac rural landowners will experience an increase in their rates of 5% or less.

Councillors have worked closely with the executive leadership team to deliver a budget that ensures we live within our means while we grow together to serve better.

For the first time since the pandemic, we will deliver a record investment in roads with 45 percent of our $55.5 million capital works program dedicated to our vast network.

This is all about working to maintain key frontline services on which our communities rely and supporting our communities and their futures.

Councillors and officers look forward to working with the community to deliver this investment and to continue our support in maintaining key frontline services during these challenging times.

Corporate Plans

2023-2028 Corporate Plan (PDF, 3MB)

Councillors adopted the 2023-2028 Community-Corporate Plan during an Ordinary Meeting at Isaac’s Dysart chambers on Wednesday, 23 August 2023.

The document ensures residents’ priorities help shape future development of the region.

From the seven Traditional Custodian groups to residents of our 17 unique communities, the passion for the future of our region was apparent.

Our Isaac is a region with heart and that has never been more evident than now.

This 2023-2028 Community-Corporate Plan reflects our residents. It describes what they value, what they want to achieve and how they want to live in this region we are so very proud to call home or a home-away-from-home.

This plan is Council’s leading document to inform how we intend to lead, plan and deliver community and Council priorities over the next five years and beyond.
