Hunter Councils

Friday's presentations started off with Hunter Councils, a consortium of twelve local governments in Australia. This consortium brings together these municipalities to provide centralized training, records storage, procurement and environmental planning. This is a model that has certainly done well in the United States, but I never heard of one of these entities doing records storage. Given the large amount of effort I know that Evanston does in this area, it is a great idea to include records storage in such a consortium. More info on records storage from Hunter Councils here.
