Section 6.2 of the Local Government Act 1995 requires council to prepare and adopt an annual budget for each Financial Year prior to the 31st August, or such extended time as the Minister allows. Each local government is to prepare and adopt, (Absolute Majority Required) in the form and manner prescribed, a budget for its municipal fund for the financial year ending on the next following 30th June.
The Shire of Leonora compiles annual budgets in line with relevent, current strategic planning documents and Local Government Legislation as needed.
