To help inform the 2025/26 Annual Budget, Latrobe City Council is inviting community members to have their say on what services and programs they value most and how the Budget could be allocated, balancing competing priorities and available resources. The Budget funds delivery of quality services and capital works across Latrobe City.
Council also wants to hear about any specific projects community members would like considered as part of the Budget process or ideas about how funds may be spent across the municipality.
CEO of Latrobe City Council, Steven Piasente, encouraged people to have their say, to help Council gain a greater understanding of aspirations for the Budget.
"In less than three minutes, you can complete a survey and provide your feedback on what areas you would prioritise in the 2025/26 Annual Budget," said Mr Piasente.
"It's important to Council that we provide people with the opportunity to help shape the Budget before it's drafted.
"Council operates a significant Budget, which provides over 70 services to the community and on average invests over $30 million in capital works programs across the municipality each year."
Community members are invited to submit their Budget feedback via Council's Have Your Say engagement platform: yoursay.latrobe.vic.gov.au/2025-26-budget-community-consultation
Submissions close 5pm on 26 November 2024.
