Worked exampleWe built this to show what a campaign looks like from start to finish. The organisations in it are made up, and nobody is collecting your answers for a decision. The amount it says it pays is part of the example. Nobody gets paid for answering it.

Corbin Bay Council~7 min

There is less money than the program costs. What comes out?

The holiday program costs more than the money left for it. Say what stays and what goes, and whether the money should be spent on holidays at all.

What you can change

  1. 01What the $68,000 still pays for in 2027
  2. 02Whether council runs the program itself or pays providers to run it
  3. 03Whether the holiday money is spent on holidays at all

What Corbin Bay Council has already decided

  • The $68,000. The cut is a condition of the state's review of council's finances.
  • Working-with-children checks and insurance for whoever runs it, which the law requires.
  • That it is open to everyone in the council area, not one school.
  • The community centre lease, which runs to 2029 and is paid either way.

What you'll do

  1. 1Choose between two options that can't both happen, and say why
  2. 2A few quick questions about you
  3. 3Cut things until what's left fits the money
  4. 4Check what you said, then send it

Timeline and impact

  • You hear back by 29 January 2027
  • Partly funded. The 2027 holiday line is $68,000, down from $96,000. The reduction is a condition of the state financial-sustainability review and it is not a proposal.
Who this is for

People aged 12 to 24 in Corbin Bay. People who come to the holiday program, people who used to, and people who look after a younger brother or sister who does.
