The report ” Strong Foundations for Sustainalbe Local Infrastructure” by Ernst & Young was released in July 2012 by the Department of Regional Australia, Local Government, Arts and Sport. The report reviews the prioritisation and financing of local infrastructure.
The recommendations fall into three broad themes:
- Recommendations to enable councils to leverage existing funding sources for investment in new infrastructure
- Recommendations to improve councils‘ access to cost effective finance
- Enabling recommendations to improve councils‘ ability to identify and develop infrastructure and gain access to specialist skills necessary to deliver innovative financing solutions.
