Glenelg Shire 2026-2027 Budget Development

You can now view and provide feedback on the draft 2026/27 Annual Budget.

Thank you to community for joining the conversation earlier this year and taking part in the consultation to help shape the 2026/27 Annual Budget.

The draft has been informed by community feedback received during the consultation process, particularly in relation to new local projects, asset renewal, and future project planning.

Within the available funding, Council has prioritised projects that reflect both community feedback and strategic priorities, including the Flinders Park Oval Lighting Upgrade and Dartmoor footpath construction. Other identified projects in Heywood and Portland will be taken forward with the aim of attracting external funding opportunities.
