State of Local Government in New Zealand
New Zealand councils are under pressure from the ongoing impacts of 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.
The State of Local Government in New Zealand whitepaper outlines the current landscape for local government in New Zealand, 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?
