Local Code of Corporate Governance
Each Local Authority operates through a governance
framework. It is an interrelated system that brings together
an underlying set of legislative requirements, governance
principles and management processes.
This framework has been recently revised due to the continual
evolvement of the role of local authorities and builds on recent
governance work both in the public and private sector.
The six core principles from the Good Governance Standard have
been adapted for the local Government context and incorporated into
the Local Code of Corporate Governance, which sets out the means by
which the council intends to manage its governance
arrangements.
