2023/24 Council Budget -Chandler Overview
Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner has handed down Brisbane City Council’s Budget for 2023/24, where 87 per cent of the Budget spend will be in Brisbane’s suburbs, in line with his Council’s Suburbs First Guarantee.
While this Budget is focused on keeping costs down, it’s important we continue to invest in projects that will keep Brisbane moving and ensure our city remains clean and green. We are also focusing on record investment in building road infrastructure, both for cars and buses.
We know the rising costs of everyday items, from milk to petrol, add extra pressure on your household budget. As a council, we don’t want to add to this pressure, this budget provides an $80 million cost-of-living relief package to ease the pressure on your pocket.
This Budget once again ensures Brisbane residents pay less than other councils, but get more for their money.
