👋 Welcome to Council Watch Australia
Shining a light on your local government.
At Council Watch Australia, we believe ratepayers deserve transparency, accountability, and value for money.
We’re a national watchdog committed to exposing waste, highlighting governance failures, and standing up for the communities that councils are meant to serve.
Whether it’s skyrocketing rates, shady deals, dodgy planning decisions, or taxpayer-funded junkets, we track it, report it, and fight back. Our mission is simple: to hold councils across the country to account — from Broome to Ballarat, Parramatta to Port Lincoln.
🔍 Investigations. 📣 Advocacy. 💬 Community Voice. 📊 Data-driven insights.
We’re not funded by government. We don’t play party politics. We’re here for you — the residents, ratepayers, and businesses who expect better from their local council.
If you think your council has forgotten who it works for, you’re not alone.
Join the growing movement for real local democracy and clean governance.
👉 Welcome to Council Watch. Eyes on every council. All across Australia.
