Submissions we received
We received an impressive number of community submissions and we thank the community for the time and effort they put into the first stage of this process.
We now have 26 projects, initiatives, or programs that Council could include as part of the 2023-24 Budget.
We need your help to decide which initiatives will be considered as part of the 2023/24 budget process
