Future of Local Government

Embracing data connectivity and customer centricity.

Local councils in Australia – from the capital cities to regional communities – are facing a period of significant disruption as they deal with a range of issues including population change, budget constraints, economic transition and rising demands and expectations on services.

It’s clear that these shifts require new ways of thinking about the way services are delivered and how local government organisations need to respond. Undertanding citizen and stakeholder expectations, using data in smarter ways, adopting digital technologies, driving efficiencies and developing the workforce will all help to foster more prosporous and resilient communities.
