Kwinana just approved its 2026-27 budget with a surprise rate hike bump from 4.5% to 4.75%—thanks to soaring construction costs, unexpected contract expenses, and big-ticket projects like the Recquatic Centre redevelopment. Officials admit it’s unpopular but necessary to fund growth in one of Australia’s fastest-expanding cities. Despite no public audio of the vote, the budget passed unanimously, with council highlighting $400K in efficiencies and new flexible payment options to ease the burden. They’re investing in infrastructure and future-proofing the city center as growth accelerates.
