The twelve local government
areas of the Hunter Valley have worked together
for over fifty years to ensure their communities
benefit from positive co-operation and collaboration.
This has achieved:
- Strong communication between
Mayors, Councillors and General Managers
- Shared professional expertise
through staff forums
- Many intercouncil collaborative
projects
The goodwill established has
underpinned the success of Hunter Councils as
the lead organisation in resource sharing. With
the ever increasing pressure on local government
to do more with less, Hunter Councils is constantly
striving to reduce the cost of "doing business"
for local government through offering economies
and efficiencies. This has supported the development and growth of these divisions of Hunter Councils:
- Organisational Development
- Environment
- Procurement
- Records Management
