Council Compare
Hook
Pick two councils. See which one is delivering more for less.
Key Numbers

- Every core financial indicator [VLGGC]
- Key performance metrics [LGPRF]
Context
Council compare lets you pick two or more councils and see them side by side across expenditure, revenue, governance ratio, debt, capital spend, and performance indicators. It is the apples-to-apples check on everything the council list surfaces in aggregate.
The tool works best within peer groups — metro vs metro, rural vs rural. Comparing an inner-city CBD council to a small rural shire produces misleading contrasts. The peer grouping is your job; the data is ours.
Takeaway
The next time someone tells you all councils are the same, put the numbers on the table.
