City Releases Proposed Budget

The City of Greater Sudbury’s proposed budget was presented to the Finance and Administration Committee at its meeting Tuesday.

The proposed budget outlines a balanced approach to maintaining core services, investing in critical infrastructure and supporting Council’s strategic priorities, including housing, economic growth and community well-being.

The City’s proposed budget includes an increase of 0.9 per cent to support municipal operations, ensuring continued delivery of essential services to residents. In addition, capital funding to support roads, public facilities and other vital infrastructure brings the total municipal budget increase to 2.7 per cent. Including service partners such as the Greater Sudbury Police Service (GSPS), Public Health Sudbury & Districts and the Greater Sudbury Public Library (GSPL), the overall property tax impact is 5.7 per cent.

The proposed budget outlines a total capital investment of $583.2 million over two years, focused on renewing and maintaining the city’s critical infrastructure. The budget also includes the costs for continued support for key community partners such as GSPS, Public Health Sudbury & Districts, GSPL and Conservation Sudbury, along with several business cases for Council’s consideration.

City Council will review the proposed budget during public deliberations scheduled to begin December 2, 2025. Once approved, the budget will guide City operations and investments. Meetings can be viewed online at greatersudbury.ca/agendas.
