After months of debate and consultation the Dunedin City Council will finally vote to adopt the city’s budget for the next 10 years. Councillors will vote to adopt the 10-year plan at a full meeting of the Dunedin City Council tomorrow.
Included in the plan is $60 million for an upgrade of the central city, $10.8million towards a new aquatic facility in Mosgiel and a $20 million architecturally designed walking and cycling bridge.
It also includes much-needed upgrades of wastewater infrastructure to improve many of the city’s ageing pipes, sewers and water mains.
Councillors will also set the rating levels for the next financial year, a 7.84% increase expected in the first year of the plan.
Once the plan is adopted, it will be available on the council’s website from July 1. A print
copy will be available from the middle of July.
