What is a Service Delivery Review?
A Service Delivery Review is an evaluation process in which the systemic review of a specific municipal service(s) determines whether that particular service is needed; if so, at what level the service is needed based on several criteria (legally, economically, or for the benefit of the community); and the most appropriate, responsive, effective and efficient way to provide that service now and into the future.
A Service Delivery Review involves asking the following questions about service and cost management:
- Does the municipality need to provide this service/business?
- What do citizens expect of the service and what outcomes does Council want for the service?
- Are there areas that require new or enhanced service?
- What are the full costs and benefits of the service?
- What are the alternative ways of delivering the service?
All departments and service areas of the Township have been reviewed.
