This year, properties in Kalgoorlie-Boulder have been revalued by Landgate. It’s important to note that the City has no influence over the valuation of your property.
Overall, the City plans to raise an extra 10% from rates revenue, primarily by lowering residential rates and increasing rates for other categories. Rates revenue is reinvested into our community for the development and renewal of infrastructure, amenities and the delivery of essential services.
The City is dedicated to providing quality services to meet the diverse needs of our community. This includes the efficient management of the City’s sewer network, community facilities, and weekly waste and recycling services, including kerbside collection. Ongoing access to essential community services remains a priority, from the library to the airport, as well as maintaining our beautiful public open spaces.
The City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder Budget for the 2024/25 financial year was adopted at the 22 July 2024 Ordinary Council Meeting. Changing economic conditions continue to impact the delivery of services, particularly capital works projects, and the community, as well as the City, wants to see these projects completed.
“This year, Council has endorsed an ambitious and community-focused budget that will deliver numerous projects and services prioritised by our residents. From initial planning to final endorsement, our community has been at the forefront of this budget
process. Thank you for your valuable feedback over the past year. We remain committed to engaging with our residents to shape the future vision for our city. This budget reflects the prioritisation of investments that will make a difference in the lives of our residents.”
Mayor Glenn Wilson, Budget and Rates 2024/25
