3. Scenario Planning Assumptions: • Bill #1 will require all Councils to • Use the LGPRF – Indicator Workbook Version 3.1 • Use new reporting templates to prepare their planning and accountability reports • Continue using the State's customer satisfaction survey and reporting services to collect their new service performance data. This means the Local Government Ministry will adjust the necessary changes in the data collection processes to include the new KPI in customer questionnaires. • 2. Bill#2 will require all Councils to report and manage incidents of poor Councillors' behaviours to resolution. Mayors are given the accountability to improve and manage conduct performance in their Councils. A state appointed Local Government Inspectorate will oversee reported incidents and determine the appropriate resolution outcomes, including penalising those found guilty of misconduct.The current situation has a decentralised approach in reporting and tracking misconduct incidents. Some Councils have ICT systems, some don't. There is inefficiency and process and information fragmentation in the current situation. To improve efficiency and streamline process and information flows, we assume the Local Government Ministry will centralise and hence provide a common Councillors' misconduct incident reporting and management system.
