Understanding Local Government

Government Employee Training

Plan of action

For most people, local government is only about rates and rubbish. However local government provides an extensive and diverse array of services and assets to the local community including planning/building, health services, recreation/leisure and local infrastructure. Because of this diversity, working in local government can be rewarding and challenging.
