Mandurah’s council has adopted a bold 10-year financial plan to close a $12 million budget gap, forecasting steady rate increases to fund critical infrastructure and future-proof the city’s finances. Facing mounting asset costs and population growth, leaders argue short-term avoidance of hikes would cripple long-term revenue, risking $30 million in lost income. While the mayor champions strategic foresight over political popularity, some council members push back, questioning spending on private projects and calling for deeper cuts. Public feedback is split—some support fee hikes to sustain services, others demand no increases amid household strain and calls for operational efficiency.
