$30M IN BUDGET CUTS
■ Darebin Council is looking to cut $30 million from its capital works program, Cr Tim Laurence has warned. A Draft Budget, on exhibition in June, seeks to reeduce a $60 million expenditure to $30 million, according to the Reservoir Councillor. “The key story is that from being an almost debt free Council for decades the Darebin council spent over $100 million on two projects and debt levels are soon to reach about 25 per cent of total council annual income.” Cr Laurence criticised the extent of the cuts: “Over the next three years will see over $61 million has been removed from our capital works program. “I have voted against previous unfair and unequal Darebin Council budgets that created this capital works drought. “I made it clear on Monday night that the current draft is still unfairly placing burdens above Bell St.” The Council was due to hold a special meeting on Monday (May 29) as we went to press.
