Sustainable Communities Act
A new law embodied in the Sustainable Communities Act, launched in 2008, provides local councils and local communities with the opportunity to ask national Government to devolve more power to councils to improve the sustainability of local areas.
Each year national Government will be asking local councils to submit ideas on how it can help councils improve the sustainability of their area.
