Why we're consulting

Wodonga Council is presenting a Draft Budget 2023 to 2024 to the public and encourages feedback from the community.

The budget is an important document as it outlines how we will deliver services and programs to our community. It covers services like managing waste, upgrading our infrastructure, community facilities and parks, operating our libraries, recreation centres, events and services to people at all stages of life.

Your feedback as part of the first stage of consultation has helped to shape the development of the Draft Budget 2023-2024. You can read about the feedback received from the community here.
