Cherbourg Aboriginal Shire Council’s 2021-22 Budget will continue the Council’s focus on building the community’s long-term sustainability (Photo: CASC)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

June 21, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cherbourg’s 2021-22 Budget will continue the Council’s long-term focus on building major infrastructure and acquiring plant and equipment for the community.<\/p>\n

Community residents will face a 1 per cent rise in rentals and charges, which is marginally less than this year’s forecast 1.1 per cent increase in CPI.<\/p>\n

Handing down the Budget last week, CEO Chatur Zala said a key function of Cherbourg Aboriginal Shire Council (CASC) was to build community assets and acquire sufficient plant and equipment to make the town sustainable.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Funding spent on plant and equipment will ultimately make Cherbourg more self-reliant, bringing down Council’s overall operating costs in the long term,” Mr Zala said.<\/p>\n

This year, CASC will spend an estimated $740,000 to acquire a rubbish truck, bobcat, forklift, front-end loader and conveyor for its fleet.<\/p>\n

Thanks to a Works for Queensland grant, CASC will also undertake upgrades to its tip to make the facility more environmentally compliant.<\/p>\n

This will include separating waste into the correct sections (plastics, cardboard, glass etc); creating green zones between collection points; capping and other measures to protect the water table against contamination; and installation of security cameras to deter illegal dumping.<\/p>\n

Work on the new Cherbourg-Murgon footpath is expected to start in early October, with $2.5 million allocated to the project in 2021-22.<\/p>\n

CASC will also spend $4.1 million to install new water reservoir tanks with an expected 50-100 year lifespan.<\/p>\n

Work on the water tanks began earlier this year and community supply is expected to come online by Christmas.<\/p>\n

The Council will invest $2.6 million into the construction of new housing; a further $2.5 million to upgrade existing housing; and $230,000 into road works and line marking.<\/p>\n

CASC is forecasting CPI rises in rents, fees and charges, sales and recoverable works, and grants and subsidies over the coming decade, with CPI expected to range between one and 3 per cent.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Employee wages and salaries are expected to rise by 2 per cent per annum over the same period, while depreciation allowances will remain relatively constant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
