The Local Government & Municipal (LGAM) Knowledge Base is a Wiki created for the use of and to promote collaboration between Local Councils, Water Authorities and associated organisations, and to help them try to save money by sharing information.

It is a place to post any information† that may be of interest to Councils, and to search for information already posted. There are currently 3000+ pages of information on the site.
Please feel free to add information and pages and to contribute to the forum.
