Community Governance Review

A Community Governance Review is a process where local authorities examine and potentially adjust the structures and boundaries of their local councils and community groups. The goal is to ensure that local governance arrangements are effective, representative, and responsive to residents’ needs. This may involve changing council wards, boundaries, or responsibilities to improve democratic representation, streamline decision-making, or better reflect community identities. The review typically results in recommendations for amendments that enhance local democracy and service delivery, with community input playing a key role in shaping the outcomes.
