Local Government

Local Government risk profiles are unique to manage in a highly regulated and complex environment where decreasing revenue and resources, new regulations and increased demand for services are forcing Local Government executives to do more with less.

 

In addition, changes in population growth, diversity and age, climate change, technological advances and the need to balance new capital works with asset renewal, continue to stretch both the levels and types of risk. This means that cost effective retention and transfer of risk is important for Local Government.

In our 2018 Risk Report for Australian Local Government, the market highlighted the following Top 10 risk concerns affecting their council.
