About the CART
Helping councils and regulators improve their internal regulatory processes and make it easier to do business in Victoria. The Victorian Government is committed to making it easier for councils and regulators to help businesses start and grow into successful enterprises, while managing risks to the community, safety and the environment.
To help achieve this, we’ve developed the Council and Regulator Toolkit (CART) – a one-stop shop of tools and resources tailored to assist state government departments, local councils and regulators in Victoria.
The tools, templates and guides to best practice have been developed in collaboration with Victorian regulators or through state programs. They are designed to be flexible and apply broadly across regulatory fields.
These tools will help agencies streamline regulatory processes, support digital transformation and improve business engagement. Councils and regulators will be able to work more efficiently and effectively, and businesses will benefit from faster and easier approvals and processes.
Using the CART
As you search the CART, you’ll find a range of tools, including templates, guides, frameworks, reports and case studies.
You will either:
- download the tools directly from the CART
- be redirected to other websites for the tools and/or more information.
Who should use the CART
The CART is ideal for staff in government agencies, local councils and regulators who:
- create and enforce regulations
- manage compliance
- streamline business processes.
Management of the CART
The Regulatory Reform team in the Department of Treasury and Finance manages the CART.
We work with agencies such as Better Regulation Victoria and the Department of Jobs, Skills, Industry and Regions to ensure the toolkit is effective in supporting regulatory reform across Victoria.
Contributing to the CART
We welcome input from users. Email reg.reform@dtf.vic.gov.au if you have suggestions for new tools or feedback about the CART.
