As part of the update, information on councillor payments and
long-term liabilities sourced from local government annual financial
statements, and the percentage of female elected members will be
publicly available for the first time.
MyCouncil has been a great
success with more than 100,000 page views since launching in April
2016. The website is a useful tool for public and councils alike,
prompting discussion about council performance which has the potential
to lead to improved community services.
I would like to thank you
all for your assistance and support in providing this information to
ensure we continue to strengthen accountability and transparency across
the sector.
I encourage you to view and compare your local government at
MyCouncil.wa.gov.au.
