Boost arts and culture programs and facilities in Mornington Peninsula budget

Mornington Peninsula council is welcoming community feedback for its 2025/26 budget.

Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Budget survey is giving you the power to recommend how funds are distributed across key priority areas, and one of your choices is arts and culture programs and facilities – something we know you’re passionate about!

In a call out on Wednesday this week, the shire council said, while the concept isn’t new, the choices and the stakes are; rising costs and growing community need means your input is more important than ever.
