CLOSED: This survey has concluded

We’re committed to spending your rates wisely and providing community services, infrastructure and programs that suit your needs. To do this, we need to know what is important to you.

We’ve started working on the 2023/24 Draft Budget and 10 Year Financial Plan and have launched a survey where you can share your priorities for the next financial year.

Instead of only calling for submissions on the draft document at the end of the process, we are looking for feedback from our residents and businesses early to understand what you want to see included, before the draft document is endorsed for public consultation in May 2023.

By getting your feedback now, we believe we can deliver a draft budget in May 2023 that already largely meets your expectations and aspirations.

We would like your input on the priority areas of the Council Plan that we should focus on for the 2023/24 financial year.

Have your say before January 9 2023 via the Council service priorities survey button below.
