“I am proud to present the 2024 Australian Local Government CEO Index, which provides an insightful and comprehensive outlook of the current landscape faced by local government leaders across both regional and metropolitan locations. From navigating leadership transitions to adapting to technological changes, the 4th edition Index is a vital resource for informed decision-making.”

Colin Jensen - CEO of Brisbane City Council

Senior Partner for Business Advisory

“It is not surprising that this year, the highest priorities for the 170 CEOs who completed the survey were focused on leadership, people and culture. Getting this right can make or break your tenure as CEO.”

The Index, developed by Davidson from comprehensive insights gathered from over 170 council CEOs, explores key trends, priorities, challenges and aspirations across eight critical themes:
