Annual Business Plan and Budget
Every financial year, the council produces an Annual Business Plan and Budget outlining the proposed projects and services to be prioritised, and the budget required to deliver them.
Annual Business Plan and Budget 2026-27
The City of Onkaparinga has adopted its 2026–27 Annual Business Plan and Budget of $265 million, focusing on the everyday services, facilities and public places that support life across our city.
The 2026–27 budget includes:
- $44.36 million to maintain 1,521kms of roads, 1,322km of paths, 22,571 streetlights, 249 bridges and 286 car parks.
- $38.25 million to deliver libraries and community services.
- $26.78 million to provide waste and recycling services.
- $24.40 million to maintain 497 parks, 250 playgrounds, 4 dog parks, 14 fitness parks and 31km of coastline.
- $23.55 million maintaining and upgrading community buildings, including sporting clubs and facilities.
These are the things people see and use every day — maintaining roads and footpaths, collecting waste, caring for parks and coastlines, operating libraries and community facilities, and supporting services that strengthen our community.
For more than 90 per cent of residential ratepayers, the annual increase in rates will be less than $150, reflecting a 4.9 per cent rate revenue increase in line with the Adelaide CPI for March 2026.
