How Would You Allocate Shoalhaven's Waste Management Budget?

Info: This is an example Bill Simulator for demonstration purposes only, and is being operated by Delib.

Shoalhaven City Council is planning its future waste management strategy, and we want to hear from you! With an increasing demand for improved services and sustainable practices, we need to allocate our budget efficiently to meet community expectations. Your input will help us make decisions that benefit both the environment and the community.

In this activity, you’ll be asked to use sliders to allocate the waste management budget across several key areas, including recycling, landfill reduction, organic waste processing, and community education programs. As you adjust the sliders, you’ll see how your choices impact the average ratepayer in the Shoalhaven area—whether it results in cost increases, savings, or improvements in service delivery.

Step 1: Review each budget option (recycling, landfill reduction, organic waste processing, community education, etc.) and consider how much funding should be allocated to each area. The potential impact on ratepayers and the environment is explained under each option.

Step 2: Use the sliders to allocate the budget. As you move the sliders, you’ll see how your choices affect the overall budget and their impact on Shoalhaven ratepayers. Check the total allocation at the top-right corner of the page to ensure your budget decisions align with your priorities.

Step 3: Provide additional feedback by leaving comments on any of the pages. You can suggest other initiatives or provide your insights into how we can improve waste management in Shoalhaven.

Each option will provide information on the potential benefits and costs associated with the proposed initiatives. You’ll also be able to see real-time feedback on how your budget decisions affect the overall rates and services provided to residents. By clicking the "more" label next to each proposal, you can learn more about the initiative’s impact on the environment and community.

Your feedback will be invaluable in shaping future waste management policies and ensuring we deliver the best outcomes for the Shoalhaven community.

Good luck!
