Prior to starting work on the draft budget, Council sought community input via an online survey which was open from 17 October, 2023 until 20 December 2023.
This pre-budget engagement is the primary consultation for the budget build and is timed to allow Councillors and staff to consider the suggestions prior to the draft budget being prepared.
Each service manager reviews the community input to help to inform their annual planning process. Budget managers and Council’s executive team review the community feedback in relation to each service.
The feedback is provided to Councillors prior to the Councillor budget workshops.
