Marrickville Council adopted the Annual Management Plan and Budget 2008-2011 at the Council meeting of 17 June 2008, after careful consideration of financial restraints and analysis of community feedback. The Annual Management Plan and Budget defines Council's priorities, projects and activities for the coming 12 months and details the operating budget for the next three years. It spells out what Council proposes to do to achieve its goals, and measure its performance.
The Annual Management Plan continues the implementation of Council's Strategic Plan 2006-2011 toward achievement of the long term vision for Marrickville as set out in the Marrickville Community Plan 2025.
