State of Local Government in Australia
Australian councils are under increasing pressure from the ongoing impacts of natural disasters and COVID-19, as well as managing the needs of a rising number of economically disadvantaged households, and an ageing population. To address these issues, councils must boost resilience in administrative operations and budgets.
This State of Local Government in Australia whitepaper outlines the current landscape for local government in Australia, including challenges for councils in the new normal.
It covers four key questions that councils must consider when addressing current and emerging challenges.
1. Are internal processes costing too much time and money?
2. What can be done now to streamline and optimise processes?
3. How can councils ensure the security of information now and into the future?
4. What is the impact of emerging legislative and compliance requirements?
