Meet the Local Government Finalists in the 2023 iTnews Benchmark Awards

The finalists for the iTnews Benchmark Awards Best Local Government Project showcase the significant impact that IT projects can have on local government areas, providing better and more efficient services to citizens, as well as enhancing transparency and security.

The two finalists in this category include the Local Government Association of Queensland's AI Road Condition Assessment and the City of Melbourne's Digital Permits Regulatory Reform Project.
