A Message from the Managing Director – March 2020
A message from the Managing Director
Traditionally Local Government operated in a relatively stable environment with councils having significant control over a predictable destiny. In 2020 change is ever-present; increasing governance standards and regulatory requirements, increasing customer centricity and accountability have all reshaped the Local Government sector in the last few years.
The strategic framework and long-term financial sustainability outlook are key objectives of the new Local Government Act 2020.
Local Government has lost capacity and autonomy with respect to revenue raising, principally through the introduction of rate capping and other measures. We believe expenditure management will be the key to the ongoing sustainability of Local Government with many councils facing the need to reduce operating costs.
