Modernising the Local Government Workplace

Local government is the closest tier of government to the people, and to satisfy and provide for the communities they serve, councils need to have modern and efficient practices, and need to operate in well-functioning and effective ways. This paper follows the journeys of three local governments from three jurisdictions as they navigated their way towards modernisation and improvement, and as they coped with challenges and crises, including COVID-19. These three examples provide a snapshot of how councils can adapt and modernise to better serve their communities.

It also looks at how these changes can become permanently embedded.
