About Central Coast Council
Central Coast Council is one of the largest local government authorities in New South Wales, serving a diverse and growing community. With a broad portfolio of contracts and suppliers, the Council needed to ensure transparency, compliance and accountability in its operations.
The Problem
Managing contracts across multiple departments was complex and time-consuming. Tracking variations and approvals lacked transparency, making it difficult to identify trends, ensure compliance with legislation and expedite approvals. Manual processes created inefficiencies and risked slowing down decision-making.
The Solution
By implementing OneAdvanced Contract Management, Central Coast Council has been able to centralise and standardise its contract processes. The system provides clear visibility into contract variations - showing where and why they occur, who approved them, and their impact. This improved governance, reduced risk and accelerated approval timelines.
The Result
The Council has achieved clear visibility into contract variations and approvals, strengthened governance and compliance with legislative requirements, and introduced faster, more reliable approval processes—delivering greater transparency and accountability across the organisation.
The Impact
- Improved efficiency – approvals now move faster with centralised tracking
- Better governance – compliance with legislative standards is simpler
- Accountability – clear audit trails strengthen transparency
- Consistency – streamlined processes reduce duplication and risk
“The platform’s ability to centralise and standardise processes has been critical in improving accountability, consistency, and transparency across our operations. It has enabled us to identify trends, enhance governance and give us confidence in the way contracts are managed.” Danny Andrews, Procurement Manager, Central Coast Council
Looking Ahead
With OneAdvanced Contract Management in place, Central Coast Council is well-positioned to strengthen governance, drive efficiency and reduce complexity. By embedding compliance and accountability into every step of the process, the Council can continue to focus on delivering value to its community.
