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

Moreland City Council gains confidence with Delib’s Budget Simulator as priorities align with residents

Moreland City Council in Australia needed to balance its annual budget while operating under a state-mandated rate cap. Their challenge was to consult citizens on budget priorities and help them understand the necessary financial trade-offs involved in improving services within that constraint. They worked with vendor Delib to implement their Budget Simulator product.

Delib's Budget Simulator acted as a pre-consultation tool that educated citizens on budget complexities while gathering their feedback. The results impressed the council, as the high-quality responses closely aligned with their own draft plans. This gave them confidence that their priorities for areas like parks and environmental sustainability matched those of residents before they even began the formal consultation process.
