Community boards are effective - report Christchurch’s six community boards, established in 1989, are an effective arm of local government, says a new report. The report says the boards make decisions on more than 1400 agenda items a year and make a considerable input into the local government scene. Substantial delegated authority contributed greatly towards their successes, the report says. The City Council support of the boards has been constant throughout the years and increasing financial delegation and delegated authority acknowledge their importance and supportive role in governance in the city. There was a harmonious relationship between the boards and the Council. "The general satisfaction of Christchurch citizens with the manner in which the city is run has never been higher and without doubt this reflects on the continued success of the Council and community boards working as a team for a common cause." |
