Local Government
Local Governance
Local Government faces the governance issues which confront national and state governments — and many others beside.
Sometimes a maker of legislation (with local laws), but mainly on the receiving end, local government is heavily involved with legislation. It makes policy, and implements policy - always within a confined and messy legislative context.
Local Law reviews
Councils are required to review their local laws at least every ten years. This review is invariably complex and time consuming: yet, if done well, it provides opportunity for community interaction with the Council about important issues.
