Share your ideas for next year’s Budget: Pre-Budget proposals now open

Published on 11 November 2021

We are making it easier for everyone to have their ideas considered for the next Council Budget.
 
Community members will be able to influence next financial year’s Budget in a variety of ways:
 
Open from today until 25 November: Pre-Budget submissions
Send us your ideas early before Council meet in December to discuss our next Budget. Your ideas can help guide Councillors’ thinking when they plan the 22-23 Budget.
 
Online Budget portal: 7 January – 31 March 2022
We are creating a community portal on our website where anyone with a great Budget idea can submit it online. All contributions and feedback will be presented to Council for their consideration. (Note hard copy forms will also be available)
 
Weekly community drop-in sessions
From January until March we will hold weekly drop-in sessions across the Peninsula. These sessions are ideal for those who need help with the online form or understanding the Budget process.
 
Council meetings
There will be more Council meetings where the Budget will be discussed giving our Councillors more opportunities to deliberate and make decisions.
 
People are also welcome to contact Councillors and officers to discuss their Budget ideas throughout this process.
 
It’s easy to provide feedback online. If you need help, email budget@mornpen.vic.gov.au or call 5950 1000.
