This is your big chance. You can have your say into how Councils might look into the future.

The State Government some time back commissioned a Local Excellence Local Expert Panel to look into what the Council of the Future would look like, headed by by former State Government Minister Greg Crafter and includes former Judge Christine Trenorden and Professor Graham Samson.

This report is due to be tabled at the Local Government Association Annual General Meeting in October.

The panel is seeking your input. I suggest you go to their web site (below), read their work and if you feel a need have a say.

I encourage you to read their comprehensive report, which is full of questions. I encourage you also to have your say on any part of the report.

As the report says at the very end…………………

This is a once in a generation opportunity to influence the shape of the “Council of the Future”
