But for local government working closest to the community, the many new opportunities offered by developments in digital technology are profound. Councils around Australia and New Zealand are responding in many different - and innovative - ways. Here, you will find rich, in-depth responses from dozens of organisations on how they are approaching this challenge. The following were the highest ranked pre-Challenge tasks in each state and New Zealand.
