After the success of last year’s budget survey, which saw more than 50 community members submit ideas for consideration in the Murrindindi Shire Council 2019/20 Draft Budget, Council is excited to launch this year’s survey.
Financial Services and Grants Portfolio Councillor, Leigh Dunscombe said this approach to developing our annual budget ensures the community’s priorities and expectations are considered at the outset.
“Council budgets might seem a bit dull, but they shape the future of our communities and our place,” Cr Dunscombe said.
“Gathering input and ideas before we start drafting the budget is an important part of Council living its commitment to working in partnership with the community.
“We had a great result last year – the survey feedback we received helped us prioritise our work and efforts in a way that reflects the values, priorities and aspirations of the people of Murrindindi Shire.
“So I really encourage you to have a think about what services and infrastructure maintenance, upgrades or developments are important to you, and take a few minutes to tell us what you think through the budget survey,” Cr Dunscombe added.
to fill in the 2020/21 Draft Budget survey. The survey closes at 5pm on 9 October 2019.
