Help shape our budget for 2026-27

Published on 01 September 2025

Work on Council’s budget for 2026-27 is underway, and we are inviting the Monash community to submit projects, ideas and initiatives that you believe could make a difference.

Our current 2025-26 budget is progressing our new Glen Waverley Civic Precinct project, upgrading community facilities, making public spaces safer and more accessible, creating modern sporting pavilions and delivering local road, footpath and drainage improvements.

Do you have a project, initiative or idea you think we should fund next year? Visit Shape Monash before 1 October and let us know.

Submitters will be invited to present their project, idea or initiative to a meeting of Monash Council in November.
