From 1 July 2025, the Department of Creative Industries, Tourism and Sport (CITS) replaces the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries (DLGSC).
Intro
DLGSC’s MyCouncil website has just received its latest update to include 2019-20 financial information.
This includes the Financial Health Indicator — a score that allows people to see the financial health of their council at a glance. The website also includes information on local government expenditure, rates levied and details of councillor remuneration and gender diversity.
DLGSC is working with the sector to review the financial ratios reported by local governments that underpin the Financial Health Indicator score.
While the review is current and ongoing, DLGSC will still publish the Financial Health Indicator scores on MyCouncil to ensure continuity, transparency and completeness of information.
