Each year, Renmark Paringa Council undertakes an integrated planning process that brings together the Annual Business Plan and Budget, the Long Term Financial Plan, and the Infrastructure and Asset Management Plan.

Together, these documents guide how Council delivers services, maintains and renews infrastructure, and ensures long-term financial sustainability.

Council is operating in an environment of rising costs, ageing assets and competing priorities. Not everything can be funded at the same time, and choices are required.

Before preparing the draft 2026/27 Annual Business Plan and Budget, Council is seeking early feedback on what matters most to our community and how we should balance priorities, service levels and affordability.

Your feedback will be considered alongside financial, legislative and strategic requirements to inform Council’s planning and decision-making.

You can complete the survey below, including the $100 allocation exercise, to indicate your priorities before Monday 9 March 2026.
