We are committed to strengthening relationships with local government, upholding service commitments, and improving the way we work with, and alongside, councils.
Local Government Charter
Our Local Government Charter outlines how we will continue to engage and work with councils to deliver water services, and what we will focus on to improve our services and relationships.
Four key principles underpin our working relationship with councils:
-
responsiveness
-
innovation
-
transparency
-
being easy to deal with.
The charter was developed in consultation with councils and the Municipal Association of Victoria. Download the full document, or view a summary:
