Regional Governance in Rural NSW: Emerging Issues and Future Options

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Effective service delivery,community development and environmental management are crucial issues for Australian rural communities,albeit varying regionally in type and importance.This project will demonstrate how their quality of provision depends on the structure and capacity of regional governance-including the roles of local and other tiers of government,other institutions,and private actors. It considers the need for flexible governance, and for systems of service delivery and management tailored to regional problems and capacities.Although these themes will be developed in a representative sample of three NSW rural regions,the findings will have wider national implications.
