What is a local governance statement?
A local governance statement outlines the ways in which a local authority engages with its community, makes decisions, and how people can become involved with their regional council.

Triennial Agreement
The Local Government Act 2002 requires an Agreement between all local authorities within each region, no later than 1 March after each triennial general election. This Triennial Agreement sets out the protocols for communication and co-ordination amongst the authorities during the triennium, so all parties work collaboratively, maximise efficiency and promote wellbeing in their communities.
