Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner and I know Brisbane residents are feeling the pinch in their household budgets.

That is why the Schrinner Council’s 24/25 budget confirms our commitment to keep Brisbane moving while taking pressure off household rates and rents. The commitments we took to the election have been funded while still delivering a balanced Budget that maintains the cheapest residential rates in southeast Queensland and the most generous pensioner rate remission.

Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner has handed down Brisbane City Council’s Budget for 2023/24, where 87 per cent of the Budget spend will be in Brisbane’s suburbs, in line with his Council’s Suburbs First Guarantee.

While this Budget is focused on keeping costs down, it’s important we continue to invest in projects that will keep Brisbane moving and ensure our city remains clean and green. We are also focusing on record investment in building road infrastructure, both for cars and buses.

Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner has handed down Council’s $4 Billion Budget for 2022/23, unveiling a record $3.4 billion better suburbs program.

Council is also investing $505 million into rebuilding & recovery programs as well as $1.7 billion into better transport for Brisbane.

As usual, there’s plenty for the city at large, but locally our ward hasn’t missed out.
