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!
