The Journey: Sustainability into the Future
The Systemic Sustainability Study (SSS) was created out of a request from the WA Local Government Association’s member Councils in 2004 to investigate sustainability in the sector. Independent research carried out in 2006 found that 58% of Western Australian Councils were unsustainable given their current source revenue, and made a number of recommendations for action.
The sector, through a SSS Taskforce and five separate Working Groups has considered these recommendations, culminating in a draft plan proposing a new structure to improve delivery of services to communities while retaining local representation.
The Final Draft Report The Journey – Local Government Sustainability into the Future has been released and is available for download from menu on the left hand side.
