The 2025/26 Budget submissions process is an opportunity for Alpine Shire residents, community groups, and organisations to share their project ideas for consideration in the development of next year's Budget.

The Budget will address a wide range of community needs, including waste management, infrastructure upgrades, community facilities, parks, libraries, recreation centres, events, and services across all life stages.

Community submissions should include proposals for projects on Council land or in a Council-owned facility, or relating to Council delivered services.

This year’s budget marks the first for our newly elected Council, who are committed to putting the community at the heart of their decision-making.

By sharing your ideas, you can help guide Council’s priorities to ensure the needs of Alpine Shire are met in a financially sustainable way. Whether through online submissions or face-to-face discussions at community pop-ups, your feedback is invaluable in crafting a budget that reflects our shared vision for a thriving Alpine Shire.

Submissions will close on Monday, 16 December 2024, with all proposals then reviewed and assessed for alignment with Council goals.

All contributors will receive responses and be informed if their proposal moves through each stage of the process.

Those interested may also have the opportunity to present their ideas directly to the Council.
