Delivering services and infrastructure for the region

The NSW Government requires local councils to collaborate with communities to shape the future. Through long, medium and short-term plans, we align community priorities with strategic planning for finances, assets and resources across our region.

Under the Local Government Act 1993, this process is guided by the Integrated Planning and Reporting (IPR) Framework, ensuring informed, sustainable decision-making that supports thriving communities and a brighter future for NSW.

2026/2027 Operational Plan & Budget

Tamworth Regional Councillors voted at the 12 May Ordinary Meeting 2026 to put its draft IPR documents on public exhibition to seek community input and feedback. The exhibition is open from Thursday 14 May 2026 until Wednesday 10 June 2026 at 5pm.

The following files can be reviewed in the document library on the right-hand side of this page:

  • Draft 2026/2027 Operational Plan and Budget
  • Draft 2026/2027 Statement of Revenue Policy
  • Draft Fees and Charges 2026/2027
  • New Fees and Charges
  • Fees and Charges Discontinued.

A report of all feedback received will be provided to Councillors for the Extraordinary Meeting of 30 June when they will consider adopting the draft documents. If adopted, their implementation will take effect on 1 July 2026.

Feedback has now closed. Thank you to those who provided feedback during the public exhibition period.
