Submit your budget initiative or idea

Do you have a great initiative or project idea that you think should be included in the Council budget?

Melton City Council is starting to prepare for the 2023/2024 Budget and want residents to share the things they think will make a difference to their local community.

Residents, local community groups, organisations, and clubs can submit their ideas by completing the online Budget Submission Form below.

Budget allocation requests closed: Friday 16 December.

You will have the opportunity to present your idea to Council early next year. If you would like to pitch your project to Council, please indicate this when making your online submission.

You will be advised of the dates when they have been confirmed.

To make a pitch, you will need to share details about your organisation together with your proposal for a project, program or service including who it would service and how it would address a community need and benefit locals. Submitters will also need to be prepared with budget details and project plans.
