VLGA Seminar: Does the buck stop with Councillors

Published by Alex Makin on Thursday 27th of April, 2006

Tonight I attended a seminar hosted by the Victorian Local Governance Association (VLGA) which provided an overview of council budgets, the federal grants commission and the rating system.

The seminar proved quite informative in understanding the Federal grants system towards local government and the growing dependence on rates for councils.
