Have Your Say On Improvements To Local Council Culture
The Local Government sector and community members are invited to have their say on the Local Government Culture Project Discussion Paper.
The Andrews Labor Government commissioned the Local Government Culture Project earlier this year and the paper, released today, will guide discussions about practical methods to improve culture at Victorian councils.
Three main themes have been identified for discussion including ‘role, responsibilities and supporting mechanisms’, ‘councillor journey’ and ‘dispute resolution and resolving conflict’.
The Local Government Culture Project will promote a more positive environment at councils, create more representative councils, improve governance and enhance public trust.
This work has been undertaken by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) in partnership with eminent academics Professor Graham Sansom, Adjunct Professor at University of Technology Sydney, and Professor Anona Armstrong AM, Emeritus Professor at the Victoria University College of Law and Justice.
Feedback on the discussion paper is open until 28 February 2022. To read the discussion paper and make a submission visit .
