It’s time to Have Your Say on the 2025-26 Glenelg Shire Council Budget

Published on 29 January 2025

Want to have a say on Glenelg Shire Council’s annual budget? February is your chance.

For our 2025-26 Budget, Glenelg Shire Council would like to understand which services that we deliver are important to you, and important for our community.

We’ll be holding community engagement sessions around the shire in Heywood, Portland, Nelson, Dartmoor and Casterton in February, and we want to hear from you to find out which services matter to you and the community.

This information will help us plan for our future.

If you can’t attend, you can still have your say online on the Your Say Glenelg page.

Glenelg Shire Mayor Karen Stephens said the annual Budget consultation process was an opportunity for residents “to let us know where our spending priorities should be”. 

“As always as Councillors – if we don’t know about it, we can’t consider it,” Cr Stephens said.

“It’s a great opportunity for you to have your say either by attending one of the community sessions or by writing to us – either way we want to hear your thoughts.”
