The Local Government Act 2002 requires Council to adopt a Local Governance Statement.

This statement is a collection of information about the processes through which Council engages with the community, how decisions are made, and how the citizens can influence those processes.

It helps support the purposes of local government by promoting local democracy and does this by providing the public with information on the ways to influence local democratic processes.
