RESIDENTS and community groups in the City of Melton will have the opportunity to speak to their local leaders at upcoming budget engagement sessions.
Melton City Council mayor Bob Turner said the council wanted to gain valuable community input for the 2014-2017 period.
“This is your opportunity to talk to us before we start preparing the 2014/15 draft budget and finalising our business plans for the next three years,” Cr Turner said.
“It’s important that we gain your feedback so make sure you come along to one of the sessions. If you are unable to attend you can visit our website and tell us your thoughts by filling out an online form.”
It is expected the 2014/15 draft budget, reviewed Council Plan, Council Action Plan and Strategic Resource Plan will be available for public inspection in May.
The budget engagements sessions will be held on Saturday 1 February between 9.30am and 1pm and Monday 3 February between 5pm and 8.30pm at the Melton Community Hall, 232 High Street, Melton.
