Budget feedback - thank you

Published on 01 June 2021

Over the past month we invited the community to provide feedback on the 2020-2021 Proposed Council Budget.

Three people provided us with written submissions and 17 people attended community information sessions in Maryborough, Carisbrook, Dunolly and Talbot.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to read the Proposed Budget, attend community information sessions and provide input.

Feedback included:

- Residents welcomed the opportunity to better understand the budget process.

- There was recognition rate capping provided a challenge to deliver the 40+ services Council provides.

- There was interest in contributing to the design of projects like the Maryborough Outdoor Swimming Pool upgrade.

- There was interest in the trees planted across the Shire including locations and types.

- Footpath projects – both new and renewals - continue to be an area of interest.

- The community is keen for the Council to advocate for ratepayers across a number of issues including road safety.

Our Councillors will now give consideration to the feedback before the final Budget goes to the Tuesday 22 June Council Meeting for adoption.
