Abstract

The underlying argument of this article is that the role of local government is undergoing a major shift from what has been essentially "roads, rats and rubbish" to becoming genuinely local governance. The context is set in terms of New Zealand's present governance arrangements, after which an outline is given of the driving factors behind the establishment of local government in the 19th century and the state of local government in the mid-20th century. Against this background, various significant developments over the last 40-50 years are considered, leading to a discussion of the challenges and opportunities in the 21st century.
