About the budget
The annual budget is a financial plan developed by government to allocate its resources. The budget is government’s key financial, economic and policy statement and is released once a year.
The budget papers are an important resource for Territorians – they provide insight and transparency into how the government is allocating taxpayer dollars and working for the Territory.
