LGA Performance Ratings are exclusively compiled by Lawrence Consulting and measure the comparative performance of a local government area against the 558 LGAs within Australia.
The ratings use a 5-star scale, where one star is equivalent to the 20th percentile (i.e. within the lower 20 percent of LGAs for a single measure)
