Hunter Environment Protection Community Consultation Forum

Those Best Placed Public Forums have only one mission as a Not For Profit Company, and that is to deliver NSW State and Local Governments, Businesses and their communities a vehicle to inform and empower Regional Environment Protection Community Consultation Forums, as the Protection of the Environment Administration Act intended, and according to the Principles of Ecologically Sustainable Development.

Hunter Councils Incorporated

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:

oStrong communication between Mayors, Councillors and General Managers

oShared professional expertise through staff forums

oMany 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
