📣 Have your say on the 2026–27 Draft Budget and updated Rating and Revenue Plan 2025–29.

1️⃣ The Draft Budget outlines Council’s proposed investment in renewing and upgrading infrastructure and facilities, and in maintaining quality services, while planning responsibly for long‑term financial sustainability in a growing shire.

It includes funding for roads, footpaths and cycleways, community facilities, parks and playgrounds, arts and culture, and maternal and child health services.

2️⃣ Feedback is also being sought on the updated Rating and Revenue Plan 2025–29. The updated plan focuses on ensuring Council’s rating system remains fair, transparent and reflective of community expectations, without increasing the total amount of rates collected.
