The main purpose of benchmarking is to improve business efficiency and environmental outcomes. It will allow council to understand trends, changes and why some areas of environmental sustainability might be going well while other areas need improvement. Council resources can be altered, applied, maintained or withdrawn accordingly. This will result in more focused efforts, cost savings for council and better sustainability outcomes.
The 2016/7 benchmarking report measures Sunshine Coast Council’s performance on environmental sustainability within the organisation.
