Mandurah residents are being encouraged to have their say on the City's Long Term Financial Plan and a proposed 4.95 per cent rate increase for the 2026-27 financial year.
The proposed rate rise comes off the back of a 4.08 per cent increase last financial year and will generate over $110 million in revenue for the City.
"I know that any proposed rate increase is difficult. Many people are feeling the pressure of rising costs, and that reality is not lost on us as Councillors, but also as members of this community ourselves," Mayor Amber Kearns said via her social media.
"At the same time, Council has a responsibility to plan responsibly for Mandurah’s future. The draft budget focuses on maintaining the parks, roads, facilities and community spaces we all rely on every day, while planning for the long‑term sustainability of our city."
Submissions close on June 18.
Council will then be presented with the community feedback prior to determining the rates for the 2026-27 financial year.
