We are giving the Merri-bek community a say in projects, initiatives, or programs that Council could include as part of the 2026-27 Budget.

Merri-bek residents, community groups, sporting clubs and organisations are all welcome to contribute.

Stage 2 is now open

We are thrilled to share that we received a high number of exciting project submissions.

We checked each project idea to make sure it was possible for Council to deliver it within the target budget and timeframe. All successful submissions have been included in Stage 2.

Help us decide which ones we should fund

Stage 2: Support is your chance to support some of the initiatives which were submitted by the community, that Council could include as part of the 2026-27Budget.
