Public Exhibition of the Draft Financial Reserve Management Policy
At the Ordinary Meeting of Council held at Muswellbrook on 27 May 2025, Council endorsed the Draft Financial Reserve Management Policy – MSC20E, for 28 days of public exhibition via Council’s website, from 29 May 2025 to 26 June 2025.
The Financial Reserve Management Policy (the Policy) provides the framework for the establishment and management of externally and internally restricted financial reserves and unrestricted cash.
The Policy was last adopted by Council on 5 April 2022 and is one of Council’s key financial policies that is required to be reviewed and readopted within the first 12 months of the term of each new Council.
A review of the Financial Reserve Management Policy has been undertaken and the draft Policy is on public exhibition until 26 June 2025.
By resolution of Council, if no submissions are received during the exhibition period, the policy will be adopted on 27 June 2025.
