Case Study: Moreland City Council achieves aligned budget priorities with Delib’s Budget Simulator

Moreland City Council - Customer Case Study

Moreland City Council in Australia needed to balance its annual budget while operating under a state-mandated rate cap. Their challenge was to engage citizens on complex budget trade-offs and confirm that their draft spending priorities were aligned with the community's wishes. They turned to Delib and used their Budget Simulator tool as a new approach.

The Delib solution was implemented as a pre-consultation tool to both educate citizens on budgetary constraints and gather their informed feedback. The results were impressive, as the high-quality responses demonstrated that citizen priorities for areas like parks and environmental sustainability closely matched the council's own draft plans. This outcome gave Moreland City Council confidence that they were on the right track before beginning the formal consultation process.
