According to an NRMA survey a few years ago, Wingecarribee Shire had the worst roads in the country and now IMO they've deteriorated even further; only the other day I saw a local farmer hauling one of his cows out of a pothole.  So around two years ago the NSW Minister responsible for Local Government responded to ratepayer's concerns by relieving the Shire Councillors of their duties and appointing an administrator whose term has been extended.

I don't think this sorry state of affairs would have been improved in the slightest by more data or automation, however it was created.
