Treasury Management Policy

The purpose of the Treasury Management Policy is to ensure Council is managing its financial risk for borrowing and investment activities and to:

  • Establish objectives and principles that outline when it is appropriate for Council to undertake borrowings within a sound financial management framework.
  • Confirm Council’s commitment to ensuring its cash is managed and investments are made in an appropriate, transparent, and ethical manner.
  • Ensure particular emphasis is placed with the objective to optimise returns on investment earning within approved risk guidelines and ensure the security of funds.
  • Ensure Council adheres to the provisions of the Local Government Act 2020; and
  • Ensure Council operates within the relevant prudential guidelines of the Victorian Government, as monitored by the Victorian Auditor-General’s Office, as well as its own long-term sustainability metrics.
