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)
Early February 2024 - public meeting to hear Talking Kingston submissions
Late March/early April 2024 - draft 2024/25 Budget released
May - adoption of the Annual 2024/25 Budget
How your feedback has helped inform previous Budgets
Over 160 community submissions helped shape the Budget 2023/24 - thank you to everyone that contributed! The Budget 2023/24 was adopted at a Council Meeting on 26 June 2023. Read our consultation report to see how your feedback helped to drive decisions and deliver key outcomes.
