In late August 2026 and early September 2026, The Maranoa Regional Councillors had the opportunity to meet with residents to discuss all things related to the 2026–27 budget at the recent Councillor Out and About sessions.
These catch-ups gave residents the chance to connect with their councillors, discuss the 2026–27 budget, ask questions, and raise any concerns they may have.
In April 2026, Councillors travelled across the region for Councillor Pre-Budget Forums to give residents a valuable opportunity to meet with Councillors, ask questions about the budget process, and share views about budget priorities that could contribute to development of the Maranoa Region.
Across 3 days, Councillors went to Muckadilla, Amby, Dunkeld, Begonia, Mungallala, Mitchell, Noonga, Jackson, Yuleba, Teelba, Wallumbilla, Surat, Eumamurrin, Bymount, Injune, and Roma.
Maranoa ratepayers and residents found more about the 2025/26 budget through Councillor Budget Forums that took place in August 2025.
During these forums, ratepayers and residents discovered key projects and future plans taking place in their local areas. This is part of Council’s commitment to listen and report back to the Maranoa.
In May 2025, Councillors went out and about across the region, meeting with residents as part of their commitment to listen and reported back to the Maranoa.
In September 2024 Councillors caught up with the residents to discuss the budget and answer questions about the decisions outlined in the 2024/25 Budget around rates.
Across 7 days, Councillors travelled over 1400 kilometres visiting 16 Communities. In total, more than 24 hours was spent discussing budget and answering resident questions.
