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.
