Mount Alexander Shire Council is calling on residents and local organisations to contribute their ideas and priorities for the upcoming 2026/2027 Budget.

The community Budget Submission process is now open, offering a chance to propose projects or funding needs to be considered in the 2026/2027 Budget. Whether it's a new initiative or support for an existing program, this is your opportunity to influence what gets funded.

Submissions can be made via the online form below. If you are not already a Shape member, please register via the Join button at the top of the page. Each submission must address the following:

• Project or initiative location and scope
• Estimated cost of the project or initiative
• Perceived benefits of the project or initiative, such as risk and safety issues, social and community impact, and environmental impacts
• Any other relevant information to enable Council to make an informed decision.

Submissions close on Friday 28 November 2025.

All community input received will be collated and provided to Councillors for their review and consideration during the budget process.

Councillors will consider the draft budget for adoption at a meeting of Council in June 2026.
