Case Study: City of Melbourne engages 400+ residents in its 10-Year Financial Plan with Delib Budget Simulator

City of Melbourne - Customer Case Study

The City of Melbourne faced the challenge of developing its first-ever 10-Year Financial Plan and sought a way to meaningfully involve its diverse community in the difficult budgetary decisions. To achieve broad engagement, they needed a digital solution to complement their in-person initiatives and partnered with Delib to implement their Budget Simulator tool.

Delib's Budget Simulator allowed residents to allocate a simulated $400 million annual budget, providing both quantitative data and qualitative feedback on their priorities. The solution successfully engaged over 400 participants, generating valuable input for a citizen panel's recommendations and serving as an important public education process on the complexities of city finances.
