ALGA has created a Local Government business process repository to enable councils, Local Government Associations and State and Federal Government agencies to work collaboratively on projects that attempt to integrate government operations across jurisdictions. It aims to establish a standard format representation for various processes of council.
The repository contains high level process maps and other details for common Local Government business processes, such as checking rate balances and allocating heritage grants. Its contents are based on the National Local Government Services and Facilities Thesaurus and supplemented by process design work conducted by various councils and Local Government Associations over time.
The Local Government Association of Tasmania took out a commendation in the 2004 National Local Government Awards for its CouncilConnect web site project. This provides a single point of access to every Council in Tasmania as well as a suite of relevant community information.
