Consultation has concluded
Shape the future of local government in WA
Local governments define the places where we live, work and play. This is your chance to influence the ways that local governments work.
The Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries is inviting WA residents and ratepayers to hear about the Local Government Act review and contribute ideas to help modernise local governments in WA.
Phase One The review will focus on four key areas:
Electronic availability of information
Meeting public expectations for accountability, including gift disclosures
Meeting community expectations of standards, ethics and performance
Building capacity through reducing red tape.
Local governments and the community will be invited to have their say throughout the consultation period with a discussion paper for the first phase planned for release later this year.
Phase Two
Commencing in 2018, phase two will ensure local governments are positioned to deliver for the community by examining ways to:
increase participation and public confidence in local government elections.
increase community participation in local government decision-making.
improve financial management, including through local government enterprises.
build capacity through reducing red tape
COMMUNITY WORKHSOP Location: Midland Town Hall, 312 Great Eastern Highway, Midland Date: Tuesday, 28 November 2017 Time: 6:00pm - 8:00pm RSVP: www.dlgc.wa.gov.au/LGAReview
