Budget 2024-2025

The municipal budget is the City’s business plan for the year. It describes the costs associated with providing the municipal services our community relies on, and the revenues that make these services possible. The budget enables residents to build an understanding about how taxes are used to invest in new infrastructure, repair existing assets and provide daily services that significantly impact the quality of life of residents in Greater Sudbury.

At the November 15 Finance and Administration Committee meeting of Council, the City’s first proposed multi-year budget was presented. The proposed budget includes a two-year operating budget for 2024-2025, and a four-year capital budget for 2024 through 2027.

What is a Multi-Year Budget?

The Municipal Act, 2001 authorizes a municipality to prepare and adopt a budget covering a period of two to five years.

In a multi-year budget, Council approves service plans and budgets for more than one year at a time, subject to annual re-adoption, to fund the priorities in Council’s Strategic Plan.
