Home>Your Council>Council's Promise, Council Plan and Budget
On 29 June 2009, the Darebin City Council held a Special Meeting to consider two important documents.
| | | |
| Council's Promise | | “As a democratic and accountable local government, we will strive in all that we do to achieve fairness, through innovative and progressive leadership that respects and reflects our diverse community.”
Darebin City Council, June 2009
Council made this promise as part of the adoption of the City of Darebin Council Plan 2009-2013. The promise was carefully constructed to illustrate with just a few words their aspirations for the Darebin community. A full explanation of this promise can be found in the Council Plan.

| Council Plan | | The Council Plan is Council’s statement about what it stands for and its promises to the community about what it is going to do during its term. The Strategic Resource Plan includes details of both the financial and non-financial resources required to achieve the strategic objectives included in the Council Plan.
| |
Annual Budget | | The Annual Budget sets the level of rates, charges and fees for 2009/2010 and allocates Council’s spending across its many programs, services and capital works. The budget delivers the first year of the commitments made in the Council Plan and achieves the financial objectives in the strategic Resource Plan.
A highlight of the 2009/2010 Budget is the introduction of a rate rebate for Pensioners.
