economy, leading to various benefits such as increased job opportunities, higher wages, and
additional funding for government projects and services. FY 2025/26 budget year is thought

growth tends to outpace expenditure growth, except for years with significant capital projects
and slower revenue growth. Overall, the City’s financial performance and revenue growth
demonstrate a competent managerial approach in addressing the City’s needs and effectively
navigating the challenges posed by the current economic situation.
