Council's Plan And Budget For Year Ahead

What should Council focus on next year, and where should the money go?

Eurobodalla Council is inviting the community to give feedback on its draft Operational Plan 2026–27, which outlines the projects, services and spending planned for the year ahead. The plan is Council's annual work program, turning the priorities of the four-year Delivery Program into on-the-ground actions for the community.

Also on exhibition are Council's draft Fees and Charges and Long-Term Financial Plan, which set out how services are funded and what residents can expect to pay for - things like water, waste and facility use.

Council's general manager Mark Ferguson said the documents give a clear picture of how Council plans to deliver services and invest in Eurobodalla over the next 12 months.

"We're focused on balancing the services our community relies on with responsible financial management," Mr Ferguson said.

"We know everyone has a view on what matters most in their community, whether that's roads, parks, libraries or essential services like waste.

"This is a chance to have your say and help shape where we focus our time, energy and investment over the next year."

The draft documents are on public exhibition until 31 May, and community feedback will help shape the final plans adopted in June. View the documents on Council's public exhibition page.

Hard copies are available at Council's main admin building and libraries in Batemans Bay, Moruya and Narooma.

Submissions can be made online, by email or in writing. If you'd prefer to have your say in person, attend one of the following sessions at:

  • Narooma Library: Tuesday 19 May, 5pm to 6pm
  • Batemans Bay Library: Wednesday 20 May, 5pm to 6pm
  • Moruya Library: Thursday 21 May, 6pm to 7pm
