City of Perth Budget 2024-25

The City of Perth Council adopted the City’s budget for 2024-25 on 16 July, 2024.

The $299.4 million Budget puts our community’s aspirations for a more liveable, sustainable and prosperous City front and centre.

It does so while delivering one of the lowest rate rises of all major Councils across the Perth metropolitan area for the third year running.

Through careful planning and wise investments, and a sound vision for the future, we have delivered a Budget that balances the needs of now, with laying the groundwork for a bright future.

The Budget’s expenditure includes:

• $37.8 million to maintain key assets and infrastructure such as roads and paths
• $18.5 million for rubbish collection, street cleaning and recycling
• $16.3 million to maintain parks and gardens, including street trees and reticulation
• $11.8 million to attract more people to the City through events, marketing and other activations
• $7.8 million for sponsorships and grants to support local businesses and initiatives 
• $14.5 million to provide more accessible ways to get around the City through transport and pathway upgrades 
• $10.3 million for safer streets for our ranger and surveillance programs and more CCTV cameras
• $12 million in free parking
