The April 2006 Inter Governmental Agreement (IGA) on Local Government was the outcome of a process which began with the November 2003 report of the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Economics, Finance and Public Administration - Rates and Taxes: A Fair Share for Local Government (the Hawker Report).
The aim of the IGA is to address cost shifting by obtaining in principle agreement from governments that when a responsibility is directed to local government, local government is consulted and the financial and other impacts on local government are taken into account.
Formal compliance with the formal agreement will be examined in a review in 5 years. In the mean-time, can you provide feed-back where you think the agreement http://www.lgpmcouncil.gov.au/publications/doc/Booklet_with_parties_signatures.pdf is, or is not, being honoured.
