Long Term Financial Plan 2025-2035
This is the Long Term Financial Plan (LTFP) for GMB Water, the wholly owned wastewater subsidiary of the Mount Barker District Council, for the period spanning 2025 – 2035. The Long Term Financial Plan provides the forward financial capacity framework to resource the community’s needs and aspirations for GMB Water.
This plan aligns with the Mount Barker District Council Community Plan 2044 and the GMB Water Strategy and serves as a guide to:
- reliably and safely deliver the essential services of wastewater collection, wastewater treatment and recycled water treatment and distribution for the region; and
- realise our customers priorities for the service they receive.
In particular, this plan looks at:
- delivering the large scale investment required to meet the rapid population growth in the district;
- transitioning to a contemporary water utility, delivering wastewater and recycled water services; and
- improving environmental outcomes
The Long Term Financial Plan serves as a roadmap for the future and provides a target for:
- future Annual Business Plans and budgets; and
- medium to long term financial sustainability balanced with fiscal responsibility.
The Long Term Financial Plan provides a 10-year forecast and is reviewed every year so it responds to, and reflects, the changing opportunities and challenges facing the community.
