Public consultations begin on Local Government reforms
With the release of 3 discussion papers outlining proposed changes to the Local Government Act 2019, public consultations are now underway across the Territory, inviting communities to share their thoughts and provide feedback before the reforms are finalised.
Your input will help us strengthen local government and improve the laws surrounding how councils operate.
Everyone is welcome to participate; however, we’re particularly interested to hear from employees and organisations who work in, or closely with, the local government sector.
