Have ‘YourSAy’ on council transparency website
South Australians are being given the chance to help design a new website aimed at increasing transparency in local councils.
Minister for Planning and Local Government Vickie Chapman said the ‘Councils in Focus’ website will be a snapshot of local government, providing the public with useful, consistent information about all 68 South Australian councils, such as how they spend rate-payers’ money.
“This is about giving people more information about how their council works,” Minister Chapman said.
“Councils do a lot more than emptying your bins– they provide a wide range of services that most of us take for granted.
