2023 Budget Consultations

Overview

What’s working well and how can we improve?

Council is seeking input from residents, businesses, stakeholders, and community groups to help us create a 2023 budget that works for everyone. While delivering these consultations, we are also working on acquiring public input for our Strategic Plan 2023-2028.

Strategic Plan 2023-2028

As we work on our 2023 budget, Council is also preparing a Strategic Plan to guide the sound management of Portugal Cove-St. Philip’s over the next 5 years. Residents can provide input on the strategic plan at each of the budget consultation sessions as well.

What is a Strategic Plan? A strategic plan for a municipality is like a roadmap – it shows where the community wants to be in the future (expressed in a Vision Statement) and outlines the paths that will be taken to get there (with Goals and Priority Actions). It thereby provides a framework for how a municipality can be sustainable, make maximum use of available resources and realise its goals in the long term.

Thank you to all residents who completed our Strategic Plan Input Survey. Your insight will help guide the town from 2023-2028! The deadline for survey submissions was Monday, October 31st, 2022.
