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.

Ridgeway City Council~6 min

Six events, one budget. Which kinds, and what does the money go on?

Next year's programme has room for six events and one budget for all of them. Pick the kinds of event worth running, and where the money should go on each.

What you can change

  1. 01Which six kinds of event run in 2027
  2. 02What the programme budget is spent on — the event itself, or getting people there and fed
  3. 03Whether the programme is six small events or two large ones and four small

What Ridgeway City Council has already decided

  • The $45,000 programme budget, which is set until July.
  • That events are alcohol-free and open to under-18s. That is council policy.
  • Nothing on the reserve after 10pm, under its management plan.
  • The two staff who run it. No more are funded, so twelve small events cannot actually be run.

What you'll do

  1. 1Spend 3 votes across 8 options — not enough for everything
  2. 2A few quick questions about you
  3. 3Split a fixed budget that doesn't stretch to everything
  4. 4Check what you said, then send it

Timeline and impact

  • You hear back by 27 November 2026
  • Funded. The money is allocated and this is happening. What's open is how the money gets used.
Who this is for

People aged 12 to 24 who live, study or work in Ridgeway, Marrindale or Ferngate. That includes people who have never been to a council event. Their reasons are the useful part.
