Local Government is the level of Government closest to it’s constituents and has wide ranging responsibilities for service delivery on either an ‘in house’ or contracted basis over a very wide range of services. This range of required services varies greatly with location and size with some large metropolitan councils having an entirely urban focus contrasting with the role of small rural councils which need to deliver a very wide variety of services.

In all cases, Councils must ensure they are well advised in both technical and statutory terms.
