Submission Form - Revised Draft 2025-2029 Delivery Program and Draft 2025-2026 Operating Plan

North Sydney Council was recently unsuccessful in its application for a Special Rate Variation (SRV) in 2025-2026. As a result, Council has amended its Draft Delivery Program 2025-2026 and Operational Plan 2025-2026.

This includes proposed reductions in projects and services as well as a new financial repair strategy.
