Abstract: Mandatory performance reporting for Australian councils focuses on financial data that is used to compare organisational performance between councils. Despite comprising a significant part of council expenditure, reporting on project performance is not regulated. Using data available within council Annual Reports, this research compared the ways in which project performance is being measured across councils, and a measure for project success was developed. Project success was measured for each of the five Office of Local Government (OLG) New South Wales (NSW) categories. This research highlights the inconsistencies in the way local government project performance is being reported and presents one measure of project success based on publicly available information
