The Queensland Audit office has a wealth of financial data about local councils, which they wanted to make publicly available and easy to explore.

How well do you understand your local council’s finances? The Queensland Audit Office’s annual audit covers every local government area in Queensland, but this is hard to navigate in spreadsheet form.

Our interactive tool includes data on revenue, expenses, operating costs, assets, liabilities and sustainability indicators.
