Alf Della Monica – Regional Manager VIC/TAS
Following the October 2024 elections, all Victorian councils are now required to do the following by 31 October 2025:
- Review the 10 Year Council Vision in accordance with its deliberative engagement practices.
- Develop and adopt a 4-year Council Plan in accordance with its deliberative engagement practices.
- Develop, adopt and keep in force a 10-year Financial Plan in accordance with its deliberative engagement practices.
- Develop, adopt and keep in force a 10-year Asset Plan in accordance with its deliberative engagement practices.
This all opens opportunities for CT Management Group in that councils with resourcing issues will require assistance with the delivery of these important tasks. Not only that but lead up tasks such as:
- The review and update of Asset Management Plans including renewal modelling.
- The review of Asset Management Policies and Strategies.
- Long Term Financial Planning assistance and possible requirement for our expertise and products.
Financial sustainability in the current cost of living climate will further provide opportunities as councils tackle this issue as well as years of rate capping also affecting their bottom lines and current cash flows and will provide us with further opportunities promote core services such as:
- Service Planning and linking this with Asset Management.
- Service Reviews.
