New Local Government Policy[edit]

In 2006, the Australian Government enacted the New Local Government Policy which established mandatory regionalisation within the Northern Territory and outlined nine regions, which were to be acknowledged as shires, to command a single democratic governance structure through a "one size fits all" approach. The policy exhibited similar flexibility in Indigenous governance structures and decision-making processes, compared to the Building Stronger Regions, Stronger Futures policy, yet effectively ignored culturally based processes of local governance, Indigenous governance systems and cultural geographies within the shire structure.

In order to address Indigenous input, the policy created ‘transitional committees’ through which the Australian Government could provide advice about shires and non-Indigenous individuals and stakeholders could participate.

New Local Government Policy[edit]

The Australian Government adopted the New Local Government Policy in 2006, which established mandatory regionalization within the Northern Territory and outlined nine regions to control a single democratic governance system through a term known to society of “one-size-fits-all” strategy, to be known as shires. Compared to the Building Stronger Regions, Stronger Futures policy, the policy exhibited similar flexibility in Indigenous governance frameworks and decision-making processes, but effectively overlooked culturally oriented local governance processes, Indigenous governance systems, and cultural geographies within the shire framework.

The policy formed 'transitional committees' to discuss Indigenous feedback from which the Australian Government could provide guidance on shires and non-Indigenous individuals and stakeholders could participate.
