Local Government Services

The Local Government Services team provides broad ranging consulting advice to local government clients across Australia, including strategies for economic development, planning and development, community infrastructure and service provision, financial sustainability, business management and corporate governance.  The Local Government Services team is committed to partnering with your local government to enable effective decisionmaking and to assist in maximising community benefit from your operations. We are able to achieve this by providing accurate and timely advice that considers not only financial outcomes but also broader community and environmental objectives.  In the current environment of rising infrastructure costs and increasing compliance, we recognise that the balance between value for money service provision by local governments and community affordability has never been more important.

"Our key objective is to ensure that community benefits are maximised from all aspects of your local government’s operation."

As part of the AECgroup’s genuine commitment to facilitating regional economic growth, senior members of the AECgroup’s economic development team (Michael Campbell and Ashley Page) were recently featured at two major economic development conferences. The Building Resilient Economies Conference in Wagga Wagga focused on regional economic development in the Riverina-Murray region.

AECgroup is currently working with the Gold Coast City Council to develop designs for the Kirra Hill Community Centre. The Gold Coast City Council is the custodian of the former Coolangatta Special School, located on Garrick Hill on the Kirra Hill Headland and the Council’s intention is to redevelop the site as a multifunctional community hub that provides a variety of opportunities for the community and social service organisations.
