Local Government

Increase transparency, improve process management and deliver service excellence to your community

Councils operate in a climate where community expectations for enhanced service delivery are increasing and substantial cost reductions are mandated. Government policy development powers that were traditionally centrally-held have devolved back to local authorities to encourage citizens to take a more active role in their communities. The shift in power creates a challenge for all council's as a more inclusive style of policy development is needed, one in which the general public and local stakeholders are expected to play a far greater role. 

By adopting the Objective shared platform for Policy Lifecycle Management, councils benefit from a cost-effective and coordinated approach to the development of policies, strategies and plans that underpin all services.  

Our solutions enable different directorates and service teams to share and collaborate on cross-service plans. This enables a consistent and connected approach to policy development and maintaining the golden thread that connects an individual element with the corporate goal throughout the entire process

Common strategies that can be produced using the Policy Lifecycle Management platform include:

• Corporate Plan
• Economic Development Strategy
• Youth Justice Plan
• Housing Strategy
• Adult Services Plan
• Waste Management Plan
• Health Plan
• Crime and Disorder Reduction Strategy
• Local Development Framework
• Annual and Quarterly Reports 
• Local Transport Plan
• Strategic Assessments
