Benchmarking helps councils compare how they are performing with others.
Local Government Benchmarking Framework (LGBF)
This dataset allows us to compare our performance against other councils for a set of efficiency, output, and outcome indicators across Council services. Publication of LGBF indicators forms a part of our statutory requirements for public performance reporting.
