Major Projects, Renewals and Refurbishments

In the 2022/23 financial year the City will be continue to invest in infrastructure renewals with more than $16.5 million allocated (including $2.3 million of secured grants) to renewing existing assets and $9.4 million allocated to the New Capital Works Program.
