Resource Managers
These are the agencies responsible for managing the State’s resources, such as water
resources, forestry and land.
Assistance
The State Government has been providing financial and administrative assistance for
improvements of water supply and sewerage schemes through the Country Towns Water,
Sewerage and Drainage Program. Under the newly introduced guidelines, assistance is
generally available for servicing backlog areas and improving standards, but not for
augmentation works required to accommodate growth. This program is administered by
the Department of Energy, Utilities and Sustainability.
Other assistance is in the form of services, such as the professional services provided by
the Department of Commerce.
Federal Government
The Federal Government has no direct bearing on the sewerage schemes. Indirectly, the
Federal Government is taking the initiative on reforming the way services are delivered to
the community by Government agencies in order to improve efficiency.
Stakeholder Analysis
Stakeholders are individuals and organisations with an interest and/or equity in the
sewerage services provided by Council. Stakeholders have different expectations, and
the extent to which Council meets these expectations varies.
The Table next page lists the major stakeholders, their general expectations and the
comments of Council’s as to the standing of sewerage operations.
