  • 2026/27 Budget and Long-Term Financial Plan Survey

    For those who just think of Council as just rates, roads and rubbish, you might be surprised to learn that we operate and provide over 70 unique services to our community which, with rate-capping and limited external funding opportunities, is not an easy feat to achieve. 

    Preparing the Budget is an important step in shaping Council’s annual plan in relation to programs, the delivery of projects, and services to meet community’s needs. 

    Your thoughts, ideas, and feedback ultimately helps us to develop the annual budget and determine how services are financially supported for the year. 

    We invite you to take this quick survey and tell us what services you use most and which are most important to you and your family. It could be the outdoor swimming pools, Library, health and wellbeing program, waste services, road maintenance, public arts and culture, sporting facilities, public amenities – we want to hear your thoughts on how we should prioritise service delivery!
