Financial and other information, previously required separately by
the Grants Commission, can also now be submitted online at the same time
as submitting selected data from Annual Financial Reports.
Local
governments would now be familiar with Smart Hub after successfully
lodging Compliance Audit Returns for 2016. Smart Hub makes it easy to
upload large files and provides instant acknowledgement without the need
to mail hard copies to the department.
Smart Hub is now the only
place for audited Annual Financial Reports and Western Australian Grants
Commission returns to be lodged.
Checklists to assist with the
submission of documents and completion of the form are provided with
this circular. Queries relating to lodging your Annual Financial Reports
and Grants Commission returns with Smart Hub can be directed to smarthub@dlgsc.wa.gov.au or by telephone 61 8 6551 1784.
Access to Smart Hub
Smart
Hub was developed to make it easier for local governments to submit a
range of documentation and reporting online, as well as provide access
to convenient links to key departmental web pages and publications.
To gain access to Smart Hub, email smarthub@dlgsc.wa.gov.au
with the subject line 'Smart Hub access request' to receive
personalised secure logins. Provide the name, position and local
government email address for all officers requiring access. If
possible, provide an email address that identifies a person rather than a
generic group.
