Welcome to this month's Champion Chat podcast. Last year the podcast looked at what goes into a council budget. This year, Cr Alison Champion and Cr. Rick Garotti will provide insights into the 2025 budget and how it has been constructed, 

We will have a look at what services are provided by the budget such as:

- The different revenue channels
- Roads and drainage and how much they make up of the budget
- New infrastructure and capital works that have been put forward and approved under the new council
- Balancing the budget and why its important, where possible, to avoid debt
