Melton residents are being urged to have their say on how the council will deliver services, maintain assets and build new infrastructure over the next decade.
Feedback is being sought on two key strategies for balancing community needs with available resources – the Council’s Draft Asset Plan 2021-2031 and Draft Financial Plan 2021-2031.
The asset plan is a suite of documents that outline how the council will deliver services and address infrastructure needs including developing and maintaining transport assets, buildings, stormwater assets, and open space infrastructure.
The financial plan outlines the resources that will be required for the council to deliver the services and infrastructure that the community needs, while ensuring long-term financial sustainability.
Melton mayor Cr Kathy Majdlik encouraged people to share their feedback with the council on these key documents.
“Together, these plans show how council will deliver the key services, buildings, roads, and parks that our growing community needs the most,” Cr Majdlik said.
“They will guide Council in achieving goals and aspirations for the City of Melton that provide the most benefit to the community and in the most financially responsible way.”
Cr Majdlik said she would encourage everyone in the community to view these documents and have their say on how the council can ensure the best level of service and infrastructure for residents.
“It’s also an opportunity to provide feedback on the financial strategies you’d like to see adopted,” she said.
Feedback on the Council Asset Plan 2021-2031 and draft Council Financial Plan 2021-2031 is due by 5pm Tuesday, August 3.
