Andrew McConnell: Deputy Auditor-General on the need for the Government to do long term planning

  • Summary

  • Councils are planning for the long term, so should the Government be doing the same?

    The Auditor-General's Office has compiled a report into 58 councils’ long-term plans, and found they made a “significant achievement” meeting their requirements on time in uncertain circumstances.

    However, they found the Government lacks comparable planning requirements.

    Deputy Auditor-General Andrew McConnell told Mike Hosking they’re raising the question of how much the central government understands about its future infrastructure costs.

    He says most government agencies have a form of infrastructure they’re relying on, so they think that question needs some serious consideration.
