Department of Local Government - Promoting Better Practice

Local Government Reform - Promoting Better Practice is a review process that is part of the local government reform program.  The program aims to improve the viability and sustainability of councils.  The process represents the second stage of the NSW Government's program of reform for local government.

Reviews can act as a 'health check' giving the council confidence about what is being done and helping to focus attention on key priorities.  The process has a number of objectives:

• to generate momentum for a culture of continuous improvement and greater compliance across local government
• to provide an 'early intervention' option for councils experiencing operating problems
• to promote good governance and ethical conduct principles
• to identify and share innovation and good practice in local government
• to enable the department to use review information to feed back into its work in identifying necessary legislative and policy work for the local government sector

The Review Report for Cabonne Council dated June 2007 is available to download here or on the DLG website.
