Council’s 2025-2026 Annual Plan and Budget reflects the long-term planning council has done to position Ipswich for a bright future.
Council will operate with a budget surplus in 2025-2026, meaning we can invest more in what matters most to the Ipswich community.
The $165 million capital works program means our city will continue not only to grow but also thrive.
We are investing heavily in our sporting fields, parks and playgrounds. The maintenance of open spaces has been expanded to make sure they remain accessible and well-kept.
We are also reducing our waste to landfill with the standard three-bin household waste collection service coming into effect from 1 July 2025.
Each choice has been made to keep our city progressing, keep costs down and deliver great services, with the community at the heart of those decisions.
