Talking Kingston

We need your help to make Kingston the best place to live, work and play.

We're inviting the community to share ideas and feedback, and suggest new projects, facilities and initiatives year-round for consideration in our annual budget process and to help deliver on our Community Vision to make Kingston the most liveable city.

What will we do with your feedback?

Your ideas and feedback will go direct to the relevant Council department for consideration. They will also be used to help draft future Council budgets.

Putting together our annual budget is a complex task, and your feedback is critical to ensure we get the balance right.
We have to consider a range of factors including:

• funding our key community services
• maintaining existing vital community assets
• delivering any new facilities or initiatives our community needs.

Key dates

Talking Kingston is open year-round for feedback and ideas, but there are key dates you might want to consider:

• 31 December 2023 - submissions for the 2024/25 Annual Budget close (you can still provide feedback after this time, but it will help inform the following year's budget)
• 7 February 2024 - public meeting to hear Talking Kingston submissions. Watch a live-stream of the meeting. 459 community submissions have been received and will be used to help shape the Draft Budget 2024/25. You can read the consultation report here
• Late March/early April 2024 - draft 2024/25 Budget released - view it here!
