Your Neighbourhood Budget 2024 - VOTE TODAY
Consultation has concluded
***** UPDATE *****
During Council’s consideration of the 2024/25 Annual Business Plan and Budget at the Special Council Meeting on 24 June 2024, the Neighbourhood Budget program budget was removed from the final adopted budget.
The decision means no projects that made it to the community voting stage will be implemented. We understand that this news may come as a disappointment to many who have actively participated in community initiatives and contributed their ideas and votes.
If you wish to discuss this further please contact your Ward Councillor, see details at the following link: Ward Councillors
