Your feedback on draft Delivery Program and Operational Plan

Council has adopted the draft Delivery Program 2017/2018-2021/2022 and Operational Plan 2021/2022, which provides the details of how Council is going to fund and action the Community Strategic Plan (CSP) 2027.

Upper Hunter Shire Council is responsible for delivering a wide range of services and facilities to residents, businesses and visitors, so focusing on what is important to the community is key for Council. 

 The budget has increased, with $110.1 million being allocated. There is a strong focus on building and restoring the regions roads. There is an extra $2 million dollars allocated to roads alone. 

 In addition to extra road maintenance there will be a large capital works program for roads, bridges, drainage and other infrastructure. Projects included in the budget include the completion of the Hunter Warbirds aviation attraction, the Scone CBD Revitalisation Project and upgrades to Moonan Brook Road and Bunnan Road, to name a few.
