As a member of the leadership team within Council, you have numerous responsibilities, with local government services covering a vast array of areas across your communities. From infrastructure, community services, health services, building services, planning and development, administration of facilities, and cultural facilities to services such as water, sewerage and waste.
For leaders in local government, one of the most challenging responsibilities is planning, delivering, and maintaining infrastructure. Without accurate and relevant data, the delivery of these services can fall short of community requirements. Examples across the waste services delivered by council include:
Without real data, a clear understanding across these areas are met with guesswork at best.
Knowledge built from current, accurate and relevant data captured across the waste services delivered to your community will aid in infrastructure planning.
Access to this data can be facilitated via waste facility management software that not only captures data but also presents data in near real-time dashboards and reporting.
Local governments lead their communities by understanding their needs and directing resources to best meet those needs. Because of the public service nature of the role, the management of risk, customer service and community benefits are a delicate balance. The responsibilities of compliance with national and state legislation and protecting the council’s reputation makes the task even more demanding.
Local Government leadership ensures that the community operates efficiently and effectively. However, there are considerable risks involved across all aspects of local government operations, and your waste services are not immune.
Through the use of technology to capture data, a detailed understanding of operational activity can be achieved, and areas of risk identified and reduced.
