Redland carries $138.2m capital program into 2026 - 27
Delayed projects from 2025 - 26 will remain funded under revised budget documents adopted by Redland City Council, with City Water and City Waste statements updated.
Redland City Council has carried incomplete 2025 - 26 projects into the 2026 - 27 financial year as part of a $138.2 million capital program, keeping delayed works in the budget while officers monitor delivery.
Councillors adopted revised comprehensive income, financial position and cash-flow statements, along with updated operating statements for City Water and City Waste.
The adopted documents do not identify the full project-by-project allocations or delivery dates. They also do not introduce new rates, levies, utility charges or resident fee increases.
Council’s August financial report recorded an operating surplus of $35.9 million at 31 August, which was $1.5 million above the year-to-date budget. Cash and investments totalled $350.5 million, and capital expenditure reached $10.5 million during the first two months of the financial year.
Water-consumption revenue was below budget. Council also reported an Asset Sustainability Ratio below target after spending $4.3 million on infrastructure renewals, compared with $13.4 million in depreciation year to date.
The carried-over program includes previously committed works, but the supplied information does not state how much has been allocated to individual locations. Car-park and drainage works at Mooroondu Road, Thorneside, were included in reported capital expenditure, without a project-specific allocation or delivery timetable provided.
Officers will continue monitoring the original 2026 - 27 capital program and projects carried over from the previous financial year.
