What Gemeente Bunnik does

Gemeente Bunnik is a Dutch municipality (gemeente) located in the province of Utrecht, Netherlands, headquartered at Singelpark 1 in Odijk. It provides comprehensive local government services to approximately 15,000-20,000 residents within its territorial jurisdiction, operating with 155 employees and governed by a 17-seat municipal council, an executive college of aldermen, and Mayor Ruud van Bennekom. The municipality delivers a full suite of administrative services including civil registry functions (passports, ID cards, driver's licenses), civil status matters (births, marriages, deaths), residential registration, waste management, permits and licensing under the Environment Act (Omgevingswet), public space reporting, social care and income support, and sustainability programs targeting Klimaatneutraal (climate neutrality) by 2040. The primary digital gateway is a TYPO3 CMS-based website (bunnik.nl) with ReadSpeaker text-to-speech accessibility and Zivver secure email for privacy-sensitive correspondence, supplemented by six social media channels, monthly newsletters, RSS feeds, and a physical municipal office.

The municipality's financial structure for 2025 reflects a total annual budget of approximately 50 million euros in expenditures against 52.7 million euros in income, producing a small positive result of 432,489 euros. Revenue is sourced from national government allocations (31 million euros via the municipal fund), local taxes including OZB (property tax), waste and sewerage levies, fees, and tourist tax (13.8 million euros combined), and other income streams. Major expenditure categories are the Social Domain (18.9 million euros), Physical Living Environment (12 million euros), Service Delivery and Governance (10 million euros), and overhead (8.9 million euros). Recent strategic priorities include the Environmental Vision (Omgevingsvisie), Mobility Program (Programma Mobiliteit), and Masterplan Stationsomgeving (Station Area Masterplan), advanced under a new coalition government formed in 2025 by P21, CDA and D66 under the 'Met elkaar voor uit' agreement.
