Project No. 39

Because the Commission was asked only to comment on the reforms proposed by the former Minister for Local Government, it made no formal recommendations for legislative action. However, the Commission did identify problem areas and suggest alternative solutions. The Commission also outlined the broader consequences of the proposed reforms and identified other statutes that would require either amendment or repeal in part, in order to remain consistent with the proposed amendments to section 364 of the Local Government Act 1960 (WA).
