Sustainable Council Program

By Michael Courtney, Managing Director

CT Management’s Sustainable Council Program assists Councils to develop strategies aligned to capacity and capability to deliver in a financially sustainable framework.

The program establishes the agenda for community consultation and facilitates the issues around Council’s capacity to deliver against the community’s service and infrastructure priorities.

The Sustainable Council Program can be offered in separate elements or alternatively as a total program over a 6 to 12-month period.

The Sustainable Council Program is a forerunner to the Victorian Local Government Act 2019 as it supports many of the longer-term strategic planning initiatives required under the new legislation.

Overcoming the Recycling Challenge – Still a long way to go

By Malcolm McKenzie, Regional Manager Vic/Tas

 

With the recent closure of SKM Recycling facilities by the EPA, the issue of Recycling is back at the forefront of everyone’s mind. Just over 12 months ago China’s ban on the importation of recyclable materials caused a scurry of activity within the waste management industry, local government and state & federal government agencies as solutions were identified to address what should be done with recyclable material. By and large one approach appears to be to stockpile the material until someone comes up with an answer.

This approach may have bought some time in the short term but has caught up with the industry with the recent crackdown on SKM and once again councils desperately searching for alternate solutions for alternative outlets for material.

Asset Management – Building Condition Assessments

By Owen Harvey, Executive Director Queensland

 

From strategic to operational requirements, CT Management Group understand the importance of Councils undertaking reviews of their Infrastructure Assets. These reviews have an impact on operational and renewal budgets. Regular condition assessments also assist in prioritising Service Delivery Long Term Financial Planning.

CT Management Group provides a Condition & Maintenance Review Services for Buildings, Parks and Gardens, and Roads as an independent assessment and review of Council’s assets and is performed by our qualified Asset Management Associates.

More than ever before, organisations need to critically review all buildings and match service levels to their needs.
