What is a council-controlled organisation (CCO)?

A CCO is different to a council. It is governed by an independent Board of Directors, working to meet clear expectations set by shareholding councils and their elected representatives. Each year, CCOs must formally report back to their shareholding councils, to ensure those expectations are met.

Under Local Water Done Well, a CCO is expected to be able to access higher levels of debt funding for water infrastructure investment, and at a lower cost than Council’s borrowing on their own.
