Local government consultation

The Commission undertakes its individual council visits on a four-yearly rotation basis to coincide with the four-year term of elected local government members.

The Commission has a number of objectives for visiting individual councils. These are to:

• provide a general overview of the Commission's role, the allocation of grants and its future plans
• provide an individual discussion of councils' general purpose and local roads grant outcomes for the current year
• highlight future impact on councils as a result of recent changes to the methodology for calculating the Financial Assistance Grant
• hear from councils about significant issues affecting their areas.
