City Deal Measures of Success
The Australian Government's National Cities Performance Framework will track progress and performance across Australia's largest cities by providing data to help all levels of government, industry and the community to make the best policy and investment decisions for Australia's future.
The Launceston City Deal has been developed to position Launceston as one of Australia’s most liveable and innovative regional cities. Over the duration of the Launceston City Deal, success will be monitored through measures of employment, economic activity, amenity and project delivery. Other economic and social factors may impact on several of these measures, alongside the City Deal commitments.
