Growing Ohio Town Streamlines Building Permitting and Inspection Process with SmartGov™
With a small staff and a fast-growing community, Perry Township was consistently challenged to keep up with zoning and building permit requests. The lean staff relied on pencil, paper, scanning and stamping documents to approve permits and maintain zoning and code compliance. That meant spending time searching through old documents when updates were needed, and it was easy for tasks to get lost or overlooked without a comprehensive digital solution.
Golden Plains Shire Council creates single source of truth for asset data and maintenance by migrating to cloud
Situated between Geelong and Ballarat and just one hour’s drive west of Melbourne, Golden Plains is a vibrant rural municipality renowned for its food and wine, iconic music festivals, and goldfield heritage. With many attracted to the area’s rural lifestyle, affordable housing, and proximity to larger cities, it is considered one of the fastest-growing regional Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Victoria.
As the community grows and expectations increase, there is ongoing pressure for higher quality, always-available assets, from roads and buildings to park furniture and play equipment. For Golden Plains Shire Council, this means finding ways to offer a higher level of service for the same amount of money — doing more with less.
