2025-2026 Budget Development
Consultation has concluded
Every year, Council prepares an annual budget that shows what income we expect to receive and how we expect to allocate that money on the delivery of services throughout the year. The budget document also highlights the key initiatives Council will deliver to our community in that same year.
What is different this year?
This year Council is undertaking an extensive community engagement process to develop the next Council Plan (2025-2029). During the 6 week engagement period during February and March, we will talk to our community from across the Shire to understand what you value and talk to you about your ideas for our Shire and your community. So this year for our 2025/26 Budget engagement we are focusing on understanding what services are important to you.
Tell us what services are important to you and the community
Have Your Say and join the conversation by completing the survey. Share what services are most important to you and your family. It could be childcare, libraries, waste services, road maintenance, arts and culture, sporting facilities or public amenities. Your input will help us to prioritise our service delivery into the future.
Hard copy surveys are available at any of our Council Customer Service locations
