The Town of Comox will consider its 2026 operating budget at the regular council meeting on October 22.
Town staff will present the proposed budget, which focuses on infrastructure renewal and support for existing programs and services.
The draft aligns with the 2022–2026 Strategic Plan, guiding projects and deliverables for the upcoming year.
The budget includes updates to roads, parks, trails, and facilities, particularly those constructed decades ago.
The Infrastructure Renewal Fund, established in 2024, addresses the $2.5-million annual capital infrastructure deficit.
The fund’s estimated annual increase per average residential home is $51.79, reaching $517.90 per year by 2033.
Additional budget deliberations and approval, if required, will take place at the town’s November 5 meeting.
The October 22 meeting begins at 5 p.m. in Council Chambers at 1801B Beaufort Avenue.
