Budget 2019
The Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) Board (the "Board"), will create a Strategic Plan in early 2019, for their term of office. Aligning projects with an SCRD Strategic Plan and other planning documents, and keeping in mind the current economic conditions and challenges faced by the Sunshine Coast community, the Board endeavours to keep services affordable and taxes as low as possible in review of the budget. The Budget process for 2019 will begin with Pre-Budget meetings on November 29 and 30, whereas the Board will have an opportunity to review proposed projects and also Community Partner and Stakeholder 2019 Budget requests. Round One Budget will take place January 21-23, 2019 and Round Two Budget is scheduled for March 4-5, 2019 with adoption of the 2019 Budget on March 28, 2019.
We ask that you share your thoughts on how we can take the necessary steps to continue to build on a stronger and more prosperous Sunshine Coast community.

The process also requires public consultation, which is achieved through open committee meetings and public information sessions.
