Case Study: Cherbourg Aboriginal Shire Council achieves streamlined project management and faster approvals with SurePact

Cherbourg Aboriginal Shire Council is driving its digital transformation with SurePact

Cherbourg Aboriginal Shire Council, a small Indigenous local government in Central Queensland that relies heavily on Commonwealth and State grants, needed better transparency, faster approval workflows and stronger audit-ready reporting as part of a broader digital transformation. To address lengthy multi-level project variations and improve internal communication, the Council adopted SurePact’s project management software.

SurePact provided a single platform with real-time reporting, built‑in analytics and mobile access to manage Works for Queensland and social housing projects, centralising grant documents, photos, sign‑offs and WH&S checks. Using SurePact, the Council significantly sped up approvals, avoided time and scope blowouts, improved communication across teams and made it easy to produce timely, auditable reports for funding bodies—while benefiting from responsive SurePact support and rapid product updates.
