Governance & Reporting

Joint organisations were proclaimed in 2018 through the Local Government (Regional Joint Organisations) Proclamation 2018 and have been operating under the provisions of the NSW Local Government Act since that time.

Joint organisations provide a way for local councils, the NSW Government, the Commonwealth and industry to work together to deliver things that matter the most to regional communities.

Thirteen joint organisations were proclaimed across NSW.

The Local Government Act directs that a joint organisation has the following principle functions.

  • Strategic Planning and Priority Setting
    To establish strategic regional priorities for the joint organisation area and to establish strategies and plans for delivering those strategic regional priorities.
  • Regional Leadership and Advocacy
    To provide regional leadership for the joint organisation area and to be an advocate for strategic regional priorities.
  • Intergovernmental Collaboration
    To identify and take up opportunities for intergovernmental co-operation on matters relating to the joint organisation area.
