Local government is a term used to label the lowest tier of public administration within small regions and communities. Local government in New Zealand consists of in total, 78 local and regional councils, 11 regional councils and 61 territorial authorities (11 are city councils and 50 are district councils). The purpose of local government is to provide an organised system where councils exercise their power and responsibilities to collaborate for peace, order and good governance of their communities or districts. The brief statement that was previously announced, was a sneak peek into the learning we've been doing in class. Government is an important unit to speak on and learn about at a young age. This enables me and other young people to be aware of the change within our community. This learning will later benefit us wanting to make a change in our community or country.
