From 1 July 2015, 30 metropolitan local government councils will be reformed to 15. Consolidation of ICT services and applications is a major part of the Local Government reform. Core technology infrastructure – finance applications, licensing systems, websites and all the applications used by councils in their day-to-day business, will require consolidation.
Hon Tony Simpson MLA will provide the opening address and our keynote presenters from KPMG and Esri Australia will highlight the ICT challenges councils will face and provide insights to councils on the approach they will need to follow to be successful in this transformation of their organisations. Tony Brown from the WA Local Government Association (WALGA) will close the executive lunch forum and provide an update on progress of Local Governments in the implementation process of Local Government Reform including an overview of the Local Government Reform toolkit website.
This is a must attend event for all senior executives, industry leaders and Local Government senior officers..
