PAE is made for a bright future, and we’ve been busy planning our activities and budget for 2026–27.
Each year, we develop a new Draft Annual Business Plan to demonstrate what will be working on, and update our Long-Term Financial Plan, which guides the financial sustainability of our activities over a ten-year period. These plans are developed taking into account our City Vision, Four Year Business Plan and engagement conversations with community from across the year.
We seek to achieve a balance between financial sustainability and meeting the diverse needs of community. The draft Annual Business Plan is our commitment to delivering on our strategic priorities and delivering important services and infrastructure. The draft Long-Term Financial Plan is our roadmap for remaining financially sustainable.
You can read our draft plans to discover what we are workings towards, and then share your thoughts about the future of the city at our engagement website, Participate PAE.
A Council meeting will be held on 12 May 2026 commencing at 7pm at the Town Hall at 34 Nile St, Port Adelaide. We welcome all members of the public to attend. If you wish to make an in-person representation about the draft documents at the Council meeting, please contact us.
This short video explains why we create a business plan, and why your feedback is so important to the process.
