We'd like to hear your feedback and ideas about the Council projects and services that matter most to you to help us shape the Council Budget and plan for future capital works and initiatives.

What is the Council Budget?

Our annual budget is our public statement of priorities, describing the projects and services we intend to provide and what funds are needed to deliver them. Budget expenditure is driven by the services we deliver and the objectives contained in the Council Plan 2025-29.

The Council Budget is also informed by our Long-Term Financial Plan, which covers a 10-year period and demonstrates how we remain financially sustainable to achieve the actions of the Council Plan.

To view a copy of the 2025-26 Council Budget or learn more about the budget process, please visit eastgippsland.vic.gov.au.

Have your say

Community feedback is central to our budget process and helps us create a sustainable long-term financial plan that addresses the community needs and expectations outlined in our Community Vision and Council Plan 2025-29.

You can provide your feedback in the following ways:

Our commitment to the community is to keep you informed, listen to and acknowledge feedback and ideas, use these in the development of the Council Budget and provide feedback on how your input was used.

Council must balance community priorities with legislative obligations, financial sustainability, asset renewal needs and rising service costs. This means difficult choices are sometimes required, and not all requests can be funded in a single budget year.

You can provide feedback about your priorities for Council projects, initiatives and services all year for consideration. Feedback received before 12pm, 9 March 2026 will be considered for the 2026-27 Council Budget, which goes to Council for endorsement in June 2026.
