Each year, the City of Victoria establishes funding priorities through its annual budget, which identifies the expected revenues and planned expenditures required to deliver the over 200 programs and services our community relies on.
Through Draft Financial Plan discussions and deliberations, City Council sets service levels and allocates funding for all City services, programs, projects and initiatives.
Council budget decisions are informed by strategic and master plans, Council priorities, financial forecasts, legislative requirements and community input.
