#27: Banyule City Budget
Welcome to this month's Champion Chat podcast. The hot topic lately has been about budgets, and its not surprise that even at Local Government level, a budget is a complex item that takes time to bring together with one eye on today and the other on the future. Today Alison will provide insights into what actually goes into a LGA budget,
Other areas covered include:
- How is revenue generated, in other words where does the money come from.
- What operational items need to be covered, or non-discretionary budget items.
- Which roads does LGA have responsibility for, and which do State and Federal governments manage.
- What are some examples of discretionary projects.
- How as residents you can have your say or even work with council officers on submitting a proposal.
