Consultation has concluded
Have Your Say on Council’s Draft 2026 - 2027 Plans
Every year, Council prepares a set of key documents that guide what we will deliver, how we will fund it, and what fees apply to services over the next financial year.
We’re now inviting the community to have their say on Council’s Draft 2026-2027 Operational Plan, Budget and Fees and Charges, which are on public exhibition.
This is your opportunity to tell us what matters most to you and whether Council’s priorities are heading in the right direction.
What is Council asking for feedback on?
