Local authorities prepare Annual Reports to provide public accountability for responsibilities. It serves to provide wider information on activities carried out and services provided, and for comparing actual service delivery with forecast service delivery.
The information in Annual Reports and summary Annual Reports should allow ratepayers, the community, and the wider public to assess how local authorities have performed in relation to stewardship of community assets and the efficiency, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of operations.
Council produces an annual report at the close of each financial year.
