Mayor Andrew Hope said the combined Delivery Program and Operational Plan, which was includes Council's budget and fees, has been designed to support economic development as the region adjusts to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The works are set to be started soon, and will continue over the next 12 months.

Infrastructure projects including the Quipolly Water Project, Quirindi Library Precinct Renewal and Werris Creek Industrial Precinct Southern Access will get underway.

Planned sealed and unsealed road programs are also budgeted for.

The Eastside Child Care Centre will get a refurbishment, and David Taylor Oval will have its public amenities upgraded, as will Bell Park and Willow Tree Recreation Centre.

The combined Delivery Program and Operational Plan was placed on exhibition for a month to enable the community to provide feedback on the proposed capital works program and budget.

Mayor Hope thanked his fellow councillors, LPSC management and staff for the many hours they put into developing the budget.
