Breakout: Local Government Reform Is Paused—So What Do We Do Next?

Local Government Reform may be paused, but the financial, workforce, systems and data challenges facing councils have not gone away. Nor should we lose the valuable work, ideas and relationships developed through the reform process.

This interactive session will explore what has worked, what has not, and how councils can build on the activity already underway to get ahead of the transformation game. Rather than waiting for the Government’s next decision, we will consider how senior leaders can use this period to develop practical, deliverable programmes that improve services, strengthen collaboration and support system-wide transformation.

Join Paul and Greg for an open and honest conversation about the lessons learned so far, the barriers that remain and the opportunities to turn reform thinking into meaningful change.

Delegates will leave with practical ideas and questions to take back to their own organisations.

The reform timetable may have paused—but the need to transform has not.
