The Banyule Plan and Budget

The Banyule Plan 2025-2029(PDF, 10MB)  sets our strategic direction and priorities for the next four years and focuses on:

  • Financial sustainability – sound financial management that supports us to deliver value for money services and projects, while paying down debt.
  • Environmental action – increasing our overall tree canopy by 30% and reaching zero emissions by 2028.
  • Supporting local businesses to create a thriving economic environment.
  • Advocating for community needs – including securing funding for a West Heidelberg Integrated Services Hub and getting better local project outcomes from the North East Link Project for Banyule.
  • Improving our community assets and projects
  • Health and wellbeing – by providing opportunities for people to be active and supporting respectful communities. This includes promoting First Nations inclusion, preventing family and gender-based violence and a commitment to maintain our Rainbow Tick accreditation.
  • Housing and homelessness – increasing housing in the right areas and support for those experiencing homelessness.

Past Council Plan

The Council Plan 2021-2025 was our key strategic document and outlined our priorities and focus till 30 June 2025. It aligned with Banyule's original Community Vision(PDF, 6MB) and demonstrated how we would strive towards that vision, focus our efforts and measure our progress.

While the plan's focus was the immediate 4 years of the time, it looked beyond those years to ensure that we were well-positioned to meet the challenges and maximise the opportunities to thrive in the long term. It consolidated on the solid foundations and momentum of previous council plans to deliver new ambitions and enhanced outcomes for the community.
