The Local Government Act 2002 (sometimes known by its acronym, LGA) is an act of New Zealand's Parliament that defines local government in New Zealand. There are 73 territorial authorities (districts and cities), each with an elected mayor and elected councillors. The districts are grouped under 12 regional authorities.
In 2012, the Legislation Act 2012 [7] [8] modernised the law for publishing, making available, reprinting, and revising official versions of legislation. This was the Government’s response [ 9 ] to recommendations made in two reports by the Law Commission, [ 10 ] [ 3 ] and recommendations made by previous Regulations Review Committees.
The legislation is the legal basis for the governances of the cities, districts and regions of New Zealand. Although most of the Act was repealed when the Local Government Act 2002 was enacted, some sections, providing for the management of roads, transport, navigation, drainage, rivers and waste management, still apply.
