Transcript: Budget 2025-26

This year, we have announced our first $1 billion budget to support a thriving and growing City of Moreton Bay.

Our record $400 million investment in infrastructure and capital works, will support local jobs and deliver vital projects including:

  • The Redevelopment of the Suttons Beach Pavilion, which will bring a new life to this much-loved seaside precinct,
  • Site works for the new Moreton Bay Indoor Sports Centre at Petrie - our premier multipurpose Olympic venue, as well as new paths and car park upgrades at the lakes area,
  • Much needed upgrades to the city’s east-west connections such as Caboolture River Road and Buchanan Road to ease congestion and support new housing in our key growth areas,
  • Planned upgrades to Old Gympie Road at Dakabin to reduce travel times and improve traffic flow,
  • Revitalisation of Caboolture, including a new all-abilities playground and a zero-depth splash park at Centenary Lakes,
  • Active transport improvements between Bongaree and Woorim as well as a new Changing Places facility at Woorim Beach,
  • A new SES Depot at Deception Bay to keep our community safe during disasters and emergencies,
  • And the construction of Youngs Crossing bridge at Joyner.

These are just some of the many projects planned across the City of Moreton Bay.

We’re also investing in:

  • Safe, vibrant communities and supporting local groups,
  • Going green as we grow by caring for the environment and preserving our natural areas,
  • Well-planned neighbourhoods and improving local roads and footpaths to keep our communities connected,
  • Backing local jobs and small businesses while driving economic growth for our city
  • And delivering better services for our residents.

We’ve worked hard to identify $15 million in organisational efficiencies, while still investing in our frontline services to support our growing city.

Our rates remain among the lowest in South East Queensland - with a minimum general rate increase of 87 cents per week.

We’re getting on with the job and making significant investments where it matters most, while keeping the cost of living pressures front of mind.

This year’s responsible budget delivers real value for our communities.

From safer roads to greener parks and more connected, resilient neighbourhoods, we’re building a better Moreton Bay and putting your rates to work.
