Glenelg Shire Council has prepared a draft budget for 2025-2026 – and is now seeking community feedback. Council approved the draft budget and draft fees and charges for public consultation at the 29 April Council Meeting.

Our Engagement Process

Council undertook an extensive deliberative engagement process to help develop the 2025-26 budget. The budget preparation this year saw a total of 115 people attend the face-to-face sessions, 503 visited the dedicated budget page on the Your Say Glenelg website and 155 surveys were completed.

    Council has received Draft Budget 25/26 feedback submissions with comments relating to the decision to implement FOGO as part of the Draft 2025/26 Budget.

    In 2020, the Victorian Government released its 10 year circular economy policy, 'Recycling Victoria'. As part of these changes, the policy and legislation has mandated changes to kerbside collections.

    By 2030, all 79 councils in Victoria will be required to move to a four-stream-system that separates waste into:

    • Food and garden organics (green lid)
    • Mixed recycling (yellow lid)
    • General rubbish (red lid)
    • Glass recycling (purple lid)

    To ensure all residents have access to information, Council has developed a full FAQ page on its website. For more information we encourage you to visit the FOGO - your questions answered | Glenelg Shire Council webpage
