1 Review of the Local Leadership - Working with the New Acts Program SURVEY The aim of the Local Leadership Working with the New Acts Program (funded by the Local Government Research & Development Scheme) has been to provide a structured approach to assist Council Members, Chief Executive Officers and staff to quickly become familiar with the new Local Government legislation in a way that promotes best practice solutions rather than minimum legal compliance. As there was a general Election in May 2000, an integral part of the program has been to assist in providing information and giving support to both candidates and Council Members. The LGA is currently reviewing and evaluating the Program and is seeking Councils to complete the following survey. Information gained will be used to address specific issues now faced by Councils in implementing the new Acts and to further identify training needs. NB: The survey is not addressing those training courses provided jointly by the LGA/IMM as stated in the LGA Course Program (June - December 2000). These courses were not conducted as part of the Local Leadership Program. Please return this survey to the Karol Oxton by fax on (08) , no later than COB Friday, 29 September Council: Contact Person: Position: Contact Ph:
