Community sessions to help design financial blueprint

February brings with it your chance to have a say on Glenelg Shire Council’s annual budget,

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

Council is holding community engagement sessions around the shire in Heywood, Portland (already completed), Nelson, Dartmoor and Casterton this month and want to hear from you to find out which services matter to you and the community.

This information will help council plan for the 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.”
