Randwick City Council is seeking your feedback on some important planning and financial documents.

These are:

The Delivery Program is a statement of commitment to our community outlining the main activities we'll undertake in the next four years to progress the outcomes in our long-term Community Strategic Plan (2025-2035).

Our Draft 2025-26 Operational Plan and Budget lays out the projects and activities that will be progressed in the first year of the Delivery Program, including a detailed budget.

The 2025-26 Budget has been prepared to ensure we maintain financial sustainability, adequate liquidity and sound asset performance. Given the current economic environment characterised by uncertainty and elevated financial pressures, the 2025–26 Budget has been designed to position Council to absorb reasonable external shocks.

Council plans to spend $46.8 million on priority projects and services in the 12 months from July 2025, an increase of $4.7 million on last year’s capital program budget.


PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

  • Renovating the Malabar Memorial Hall

  • Building new public amenities at Malabar Ocean Pool

  • Building new amenities and upgrading the sports field at Burrows Park in Clovelly

  • Upgrading playgrounds in Wills Reserve (Kensington), Woomera Reserve (Little Bay), Fred Williams Reserve (Phillip Bay), Bieler Park (Randwick), Finucane and Hurley Reserves (Matraville)

  • Installing a new outdoor gym at Coral Sea Park in Maroubra

  • Building new outdoor basketball courts in Baker and Woomera Reserves

  • Replacing the deck of the iconic Wylie’s Baths

  • Transforming the heritage-listed Blenheim House into the City’s first dedicated arts and creative space

  • Upgrading 4.8km of roads and 2.7km of footpaths

  • Upgrading the Maroubra Junction streetscape

  • Progressing major safety upgrades at key intersections, including Anzac Parade and Franklin Street in Malabar, and Avoca, Bundock, and Sturt Streets in Randwick

HOW THE BUDGET WILL AFFECT YOU

  • Rates increase by 3.7%*

  • Domestic waste management charge up by $41.40 to $731.30 per annum

*Rate variation explained:
Each year the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) sets the rate peg, which determines the maximum percentage amount by which a Council may increase its general income for the year. Council is proposing to not increase rates beyond the rate peg.
