Local Government
Many of the changes we want to make are best addressed at the local government level. There are a number of resources available for finding out about making changes that have local impact.
- Local Government Act 2002: This page from the Department of Internal Affairs has all the details of the Act, as well as guides for community involvement.
- Local Government NZ: Up to date information on current local government projects and some information on how local government works. Can be very useful for current issues applicable to a number of local government areas.
- Decisionmaker Local Government guide: a very user friendly introduction to local government structures with a strong emphasis on community participation.
