What provision should be made in local government legislation?
Community-level governance is a focus in much of the public sector reform occurring in the world at the moment. Interest in this topic stems from two major sources. The first is the desire to strengthen citizen engagement in local government, while the second is the need to
stimulate greater interest in local democracy, especially electoral participation.
LGNZ was pleased to be invited to work with the NSW Independent Local Government Review Panel and the Local Government Association of South Australia on this joint research initiative and hope it will be a forerunner of future cross-Tasman collaborations. We were also very
pleased to work with MDL which undertook the research on behalf on the project partners.
