Memorandum to Councils on the LGA 2002 Amendment Bill [PDF]
Local Government New Zealand is working with the Society of Local Government Managers (SOLGM) on it's approach to a submissions to this Bill. Submissions close on Friday 18 June. The memorandum has been produced as advice to Councils in considering their own submissions on the Bill. Much of the Bill is technical in nature and the years since the LGA Act was passed provide an opportunity to review it's operation. There are elements which LGNZ endoreses such as the simplification of reporting requirements. However other parts of the Bill provide potential hazards of interpretation about scope if they remain as they are at present.
