Financial Sustainability Update

Council has recently been briefed on the draft findings of the Financial Sustainability report it commissioned from Ernst Young Parthenon (EY). Council appointed EY in May this year to undertake the body of work to identify what sustainability looks like for Council and the options that could be pursued to achieve this goal.

The briefing from EY included a range of options for Council to consider as a pathway to financial sustainability, ranging from pursuing further efficiency gains, asset rationalisation, reviewing service delivery and applying for a Special Rate Variation, the size of which would vary depending on what other option or options council also progresses.

Council will now take time to consider the findings of the draft report and look at how best to continue to move our financial sustainability project forward, with a final report to be presented to Council later this year.

Council will undertake extensive community consultation in the new year as we develop our budget for the 2027-2028 year and seek feedback from the community on all financial sustainability options available.

Please note, no decision has been made on adopting any SRV. It is one of the options presented to Council for consideration. It sits alongside a range of options and Council and the community will continue to discuss what Council's financial sustainability looks like following the presentation of the final EY report to Council and the community.

Get Ready: Bush Fire Safety Workshop at Bathurst Library

You don’t need to have bush directly next to your property to be at risk during a bush fire. Embers can travel long distances quickly and start a fire. Recent wet weather has encouraged bush growth and made it harder to manage. Even if you can’t see the bush, make sure you stay well prepared before and during the bush-fire danger period.

Getting ready for a bush fire is easier than you think. Review or create your bush-fire survival plan so you know exactly what to do when a fire threatens your property.

Come to the library's relaxed workshop next week, where you will go over:
• the basics of knowing your home/property risk,
• making a bush-fire survival plan,
• preparing your home/property for the impact of fire, and
• keeping yourself informed.

Tuesday 8 September 2026 | 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM
Bookings: 6333 6281

Experienced Rural Fire Service personnel will be present to guide you and answer any burning questions you may have.

Unable to attend on the night? Create your plan online at MyFirePlan.com.au or drop in to the library and pick up some practical information to take home.

Campsite Bookings Extended to Tuesday Following Repco Bathurst 1000

Bathurst 1000 Campers at Mount Panorama and Council-run campsites are being provided the option to remain onsite until 10am Tuesday morning, extending the regular campground departure time of 12pm Monday.

This initiative follows Council's approval for $185,000 in NSW Government grant funding to hold a CBD event on Monday afternoon, 12 October, to delay the departure of some race fans and reduce traffic impacts on the Great Western Highway.

Supercars has announced they are extending the traditional campground departure time to provide fans with flexibility, spread departures across a few days and alleviate traffic congestion on key transport routes out of Bathurst.

Council has similarly made arrangements to extend stays at our Council-managed CBD camping sites for those wanting to remain in Bathurst for the Monday activation. Information about this will be provided directly to affected campers in the coming days.

We are working hard to put together a captivating Monday afternoon event that gives visitors a genuine reason to stay in Bathurst a little longer and is also something our local community can come out and enjoy.

Stay tuned as we announce all the details soon.
