The 2026/27 Budget is being prepared for adoption on Tuesday 30 June 2026.

A draft budget will be considered by Council at the May Council Meeting (Tuesday 26 May) and will become public on Wednesday 27 May.

The community is invited to make a submission for Councillors and officers to consider before preparing a final budget for adoption at a Special Council Meeting on Tuesday 30 June.

Community members will also have the opportunity to present to Councillors (for three minutes) on Wednesday 24 June - if you wish.

While in previous years, the budget has been about a number of key projects, growth and progress, this budget focuses on maintenance and being financially responsible given the current social and political climates in Hepburn Shire, Australia and the globe.
