SUBMISSIONS are open for next year’s Kingston Council budget.
Kingston Council says that ideas submitted to its online Talking Kingston platform before the end of this year will be considered for the 2026/2027 budget. The mayor Georgina Oxley said “we always value our community’s ideas and aspirations for our city – they will always make us more adaptive, innovative, connected, and resilient.”
“This is your chance to tell us what matters most – whether it’s improving local parks, supporting businesses, building better paths and playgrounds, or enhancing community services,” Oxley said.
“We’re proud to offer this year-round opportunity for you to share your ideas and have a real influence on how we invest your rates to make our city an even better place to live, work and play.
“We’ve listened, and we’re putting your ideas into action. We want to keep that momentum going — so please, keep talking to us, Kingston.”
