How we fund the budget

Each year as part of council's annual budgetary process, we create a Sankey Diagram which essentially illustrates how council funds the budget and where we are planning expenditure over the next 12-months. You can find out more about interpreting this information by watching the short video below. Under the video you will then find council's 2026/27 Budget Sankey Diagram.
