The NSW Independent Local Government Review Panel has just released Options to Enhance Regional Collaboration amongst Councils in NSW.

This report was prepared independently for the Panel by Gooding Davies Consultancy and is available from the Panel’s website, along with a media release announcing the report and outlining some of its key themes.

The publication of the report follows the release two weeks ago of the Panel’s second discussion paper, Better, Stronger Local Government. The Panel is seeking public comment until March 2013.

All media and other inquiries should be directed to Mr Vaughan Macdonald at the Panel on 02 4428 4179 or 0400 455 067.
