Snapshot of our recovery budget

What we need to balance

Rising investment demand

• Rapid growth.
• Changing community needs.
• Transport demand.
• Ageing assets.
• Need to respond to climate change.
• Need to support recovery.

Reduced investment capacity

• COVID-19 revenue impacts.
• Existing commitments.
• Keeping borrowing at responsible levels, and leave enough headroom to deal with future shocks.
• Considering the overall impact of our proposals on the well-being of our community.
