Time is running out for residents to provide their feedback on Greater Shepparton City Council’s 2023/24 draft budget.
The draft budget has been out for community exhibition and feedback, and council has reminded residents that the period for consultation closes at 5pm on Thursday, May 18.
The budget sets where council will allocate funding for the provision of capital works and delivery of services for the next financial year.
Council said community consultation had contributed to the creation of the draft, and feedback at this stage would also be taken into account.
“I encourage everyone to have a read of the 2023/2024 draft budget and provide their feedback,” Mayor Shane Sali said.
“Council values the ideas and suggestions of residents, especially in regards to the budget, as this document affects the entire municipality.”
