As adopted by Council on 27 June 2023, Item AO095-23 

The long-term Financial Management Plan provides the guiding principles for the Burnie City Council over a ten year period, which is an important input and consideration into the development of the Annual Plan and Budget Estimates each year.

Importantly it details the income required, and the expenditure necessary in order to ensure that community services can continue to be met both now and into the future and that we are able to deliver all of the initiatives needed in order to successfully achieve our long-term vision - Making a Better Burnie 2044.

Please note that when this document was approved by the Council in June 2023, it was initially called the Financial Management Strategy. The document has now been re-titled to accord with the Local Government Act, as the Financial Management Plan.
