Last days for budget ideas and cost-saving submissions
Greater Geelong residents have until Monday 1 February to have their say on possible cost savings and where Budget investment should be directed ahead of the development of Council’s 2021-22 Budget.
In response to the unprecedented impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Council delivered an estimated $16.9 million worth of much-needed ongoing relief and recovery assistance to the community in the form of grants, rent and fee waivers, free parking and many other initiatives.
