SUBMISSIONS for Frankston Council’s annual budget will be accepted from next week.
Between 20 January and 20 February, Frankston residents can complete a survey on council’s next budget. Community submissions will then be heard at a public council meeting on 24 February.
Frankston mayor Kris Bolam said that more than 1,300 Frankston residents took part in consultation for council’s community vision 2040, long-term financial plan, and the asset plan in 2024, and encouraged residents to continue making their voices heard.
“In the past 12 months, we have engaged with so many people in our community at pop-ups, through surveys, and other channels, including our community panel, which worked with us for several months,” Bolam said. “The information we’ve collected from the community will be invaluable as we progress through our planning as a council. This new group of councillors is committed to rigorous community engagement to inform our decisions.
“For this annual budget we are taking things a step further and seeking more input from the community to help identify priorities for the council to consider. I look forward to hearing the community’s thoughts and ideas to help us benefit our growing community here in Frankston City.”
Surveys can also be emailed or hand delivered to council before 20 February. To take part in the survey visit www.engage.frankston.vic.gov.au.
