The £600,000 is the estimated cost of providing 290 new plots to meet demand.
Cabinet members unanimously agreed to earmark the cash at a meeting at the Municipal Offices last night.
Councillor Steve Jordan (All Saints, LD), leader of the council, said: "If we need to spend the £600,000 to meet the need then clearly we will do that, but if we can do it without spending all of it, then we will do that."
