Budget Submissions 2026/27

At Council we’re always looking to better understand the wants, needs and priorities of the community. One of the best mechanisms we have for this is community feedback and in anticipation of the 2026-27 budget, we are enthusiastically seeking ideas from people in the region. The budget affects everyone us all, so it’s important that all voices have a chance to be heard.  

Residents can participate in the budget submission process by filling out the online submission form or completing a paper-based form available at our Brown Street customer service centre. 

All ideas submitted will be considered for inclusion in the 2026/27 Annual Budget to be adopted by Council in June 2026.
