Consultations and visits to councils by NT Grants Commission

The regular visits to councils enables Northern Territory Grants Commission to:

• explain how the commission works
• encourage discussion between the commission and council about the grant calculation process and submissions
• inspect, if necessary, physical features or structures, for example waste management sites and roads which are relevant to the distribution of funds.

The secretariat of the Northern Territory Grants Commission may also raise queries with councils about information submitted in their annual financial data return, roads return and other information.
