Time is running out to provide your feedback ahead of Greater Shepparton City Council’s 2025/2026 Budget, with community consultation closing this Friday 20 December 2024.
Community members are encouraged to provide their feedback on what they would like to see included in the 2025/2026 Budget via a survey on the Shaping Greater Shepp website.
The Budget sets where Council will allocate funding for the provision of capital works and delivery of services for the next financial year. The document outlines how resources will be prioritised to deliver over 120 important services to the community, along with the maintenance, renewal and upgrade of $1.9 billion of community assets.
When filling out the online survey, community members will be given the option to request an opportunity to present their feedback in-person to Councillors in February 2025. The Budget document will then be developed, taking into account all of the community feedback received, before it is adopted by Council in June 2025. The information Council received through the Council Plan deliberative engagement will also influence the final Budget document.
Mayor, Councillor Shane Sali, encouraged residents to have their say while the consultation is open.
“This is the communities chance to provide their feedback and tell us what they would like to see funded next financial year. If there is a particular project which needs support, any upgrades to infrastructure or community facilities across the region, or funding for major programs, we want to hear about it,” he said.
The 2025/2026 Budget consultation survey is open to all Greater Shepparton residents until Friday 20 December 2024.
Visit Shaping Greater Shepp to view the survey and have your say.
For more information or to chat with someone from Council’s Finance team, phone 5832 9700.
