Gympie Regional Council launches transparency hub

Last week, Gympie Regional Council launched the Gympie Regional Council Transparency Hub.

The Hub is an online site that displays council’s up-to-date financials as well as information on contractual and procurement expenses, capital works and organisational budgets, and councillor expenditure. 

The Gympie Regional Council Transparency Hub is a first for the region and is updated with new data monthly. 

“Your Council was elected in 2020 on the mandate we would open the doors of the organisation to you, the resident and ratepayer.

“The Gympie Regional Council Transparency Hub is but only one of the ways this Council is working towards a more open, transparent and community orientated local government,” said Mayor Glen Hartwig.  

“It is still very much early days, and we will be looking at providing more data as time goes on.  

“I would encourage all residents and ratepayers to have a look at the site,” he said.  

The transparency hub can be accessed from the Gympie Regional Council website. 

Simply click on “Transparency Hub” in the right-hand menu. 

Residents who need assistance in navigating the site can contact council on 1300 307 800.
