The 2024/25 Annual Business Plan and Budget (ABP) was adopted by Council on Tuesday 25 June, 2024 following a period of community engagement.

This year’s budget marks the conclusion of the City of Playford’s 2020-2024 Strategic Plan, which was developed to deliver things that make a difference to residents’ everyday life and the services they know and value.

As well as providing the services and programs essential to our community, a list of new projects will be rolled out as part of this budget.

New projects for 24/25 will benefit commuters, public spaces and the environment.

• Upgrades for Frisby, Fradd and Penfield Roads

The budget recognises factors affecting the nation particularly rising costs and inflationary pressures, such as depreciation, insurance premiums and energy bills. An increase to total rates collected will be 6.5%, which will $2.28 per week added to the average rates bill in Playford. This increase aligns with the CPI and will help manage ongoing cost pressures beyond Council’s control while meeting our growth needs.
