The State Government ended the Local Government Metropolitan Reform process in February 2015 after votes of the community rejected amalgamations for a number of Local Governments.

At the conclusion of the process, WALGA developed a Lessons Learnt paper with input from the Local Government sector.

Reform Toolkit

The Reform Toolkit was created to assist WA Local Governments in the lead up to the (now ceased) State Government initiated structural reform. This online resource is currently under review, with a view to retain information still relevant to Councils in the area of broader reform.
