There are several things you must consider before making a complaint to us. Under the OLG Guarantee of Service we take all complaints seriously and are committed to delivering fair outcomes for councils and the communities they serve.

OLG regularly collects data on complaints against councils to identify and monitor emerging issues and trends. Using this data we can identify necessary changes to local government legislation and policy, or a need for training and guidance so councils can better serve their communities.
