CIBIS International Pty Ltd, a leading provider of digital solutions for business and government, has launched a new platform designed to streamline governance, delegated authority, and compliance for Local Government Legal (LGL) and its clients across New South Wales.
LGL provides specialised legal services to local government councils throughout NSW, providing expert legal advice and representation in Administrative Law, Environmental Law and Local Government and Planning Law.
Marlie Caban, Director of Local Government Legal, highlighted the importance of the new system, stating: “As a firm that specialises in local government and planning law, we are committed to providing high-quality legal services to our clients. We saw a need for a high-performance system capable of supporting councils with delegations, authorisations, and electronic approvals as part of our broader digital transformation initiatives.”
Caban further emphasised the selection of CIBIS for the project: “CIBIS was awarded the contract because of its reputation as a trusted provider. We are extremely pleased with the outcome.”
Tony Heitmeyer, General Manager of CIBIS, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration: “This project extends our reach within the local government sector, where we already support dozens of NSW councils with technology solutions. Managing delegations, authorisations, corporate governance, and administrative law presented new challenges, but with LGL’s guidance, we have delivered a highly effective solution.”
Heitmeyer also underscored the significance of proper delegation of authority in local government operations: “Many people may not realise that council officers require the correct delegation of authority to perform their duties. Whether addressing illegal dumping, vicious dog attacks, building inspections, or environmental matters, failing to secure proper authorisation can lead to legal complications and financial costs.”
Through this collaboration, CIBIS has developed a polished, user-friendly platform that enhances efficiency and compliance for councils across NSW. “We are proud to support LGL in its mission to help councils operate more effectively. This project exemplifies how true collaboration can lead to innovative and impactful solutions.” — Tony Heitmeyer, General Manager, CIBIS.
