We are starting work on our 2026–2027 Budget and inviting our community to submit ideas that could make a difference in Monash.

Our 2026-27 budget will fund actions that work towards achieving the goals set by our Council Plan 2025-29. These goals reflect the themes of our Community Vision we prepared in partnership with our community last year.

A community where all people have the opportunity to experience enhanced levels of social, emotional and physical wellbeing.

An attractive and well-designed city with connected neighbourhoods, active transport, open spaces, facilities and infrastructure that meet the current and future needs of our community.

A city that protects our natural environment and plays a leadership role in addressing and adapting to climate change

A Council that provides governance and leadership for the benefit of our community through community engagement, advocacy, decision making and action.
