Title: | Shared Services In Australian Local Government: A Case Study Of The Queensland Local Government Association Model | Contributor(s): | Dollery, Brian Edward (author); Hallam, Greg (author); Wallis, Joe (author) | Publication Date: | 2008 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/3693 | Abstract: | A host of recent public inquiries into Australian local government have recommended increased use of shared services and resource-sharing models between groups of local councils. While little is known about the extent and consequences of service sharing, emphasis has been fixed on 'horizontal' shared service models between different local councils in the same municipal jurisdictions. However, other models of shared services and resource sharing are possible. This paper considers the Queensland Local Government Association (LGAQ) model as a case study of a resource sharing between all councils in a given system of local government. This form of shared service and resource sharing seems to offer excellent prospects for cost savings and capacity enhancement. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Economic Papers, 27(4), p. 343-354 | Publisher: | Economic Society of Australia Inc | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1759-3441 0812-0439 |
