Abstract
Local government worldwide is attempting to embrace private sector management practices in an environment of economic constraint and growing accountability. In the process it is transforming itself - into local egovernment- with pressure from other levels of government and customer expectation to deliver more and better services online with more transparency and accountability. However, to facilitate this a new mechanism of service delivery is required. This paper explores the importance of a cybercentristic management model in the context of six neighbouring local government authorities in Western Australia for the development of this new mechanism. The author argues that the virtually-extended enterprise is the service delivery mechanism for local government to effect this (}-transformation and also that cybercentrism is a necessary condition for this to be successful.
