Annual Business Plan 2021-2022

The Rural City of Murray Bridge DRAFT Annual Business Plan and Budget 2021-2022 is now open for public consultation.

The Rural City of Murray Bridge has more projects planned to create an environment of growth and opportunity in 2021-2022, hot on the heels of a record-breaking infrastructure roll out over the 2020-21 financial year.

We urge residents to keep the momentum going and get involved in community planning and provide feedback on future direction. Please read the Annual Business Plan and see how we intend to continue building a safe, proud and progressive place to live, work and play.

Murray Bridge is changing with programs, projects and services planned for the coming financial year feeding into our collective vision of creating Thriving Communities and a sustainable future – in a financially responsible way.

The draft Annual Business Plan has a strong environmental focus that tackles the impact of climate change and ensures better water management through water sensitive urban design - including tree canopy mapping and the greening of Swanport Road using recycled storm water.

There are plans to improve the built environment and activate outdoor spaces with major works in the heart of Murray Bridge, Sturt Reserve and outer townships - including Monarto and Wellington.

Council plan to improve movement and connectivity through projects such as a new digital information sign on Adelaide Road near the Truck Driver’s Memorial, updated Lerwin signage, a shared path on Hindmarsh Road and upgraded town entrances.

Council is committed to an ongoing conversation with our community about the great things that are happening. We will continue to support the Youth Council to capture the youth perspective, keep our communities informed through a regular newsletter, consultations, social media presence and encouraging everyone to get involved with the consultation process and have their say.

The Annual Business Plan and Budget 2021-2022 Public Consultation will be held between Tuesday 11 May until Tuesday 1 June 2021.
