Community Infrastructure Ideas Register
ALGA commissioned PricewaterhouseCoopers to undertake a study into the financial sustainability of local government. One of the key recommendations from this report was a proposal for the establishment of a new federal government 'community infrastructure initiative'. This fund would assist councils to renew aged and failing community infrastructure such as swimming pools, community halls, libraries etc. For further information see PwC report at www.alga.asn.au.
This ideas register has been developed for councils to assist ALGA in putting the case for support for such a program. This ideas register gives councils the opportunity to identify specific examples of local community infrastructure that would benefit from such an initiative.
