The Davidson Local Government CEO Index has been updated for its fourth year, bringing valuable insights from more than 170 council CEOs across the country.

The findings reflect the complex challenges and priorities facing local government CEOs in Australia as they navigate post-pandemic recovery, technological changes, and community needs.

Today on Roundup Extra we dig deeper into those issues with special guest Justin Hanney, a former local government CEO himself at rural, regional and capital city councils.

Justin is a senior partner at Davidson, leading the rapidly evolving business advisory service that the firm provides to the sector.

The Local Government CEO Index 2024 can be downloaded here.
