Title: | A Normative Model for Local Government De-Amalgamation in Australia | Contributor(s): | Dollery, Brian E (author); Kortt, Michael A (author); Grant, Bligh (author) | Publication Date: | 2011 | DOI: | 10.1080/10361146.2011.623670 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/9542 | Abstract: | Ongoing local community dissatisfaction in some newly amalgamated local government areas resulting from the 2007 Queensland forced amalgamation program has raised the prospect of de-merger in that state. One catalyst has been the Opposition's commitment to de-amalgamation should it acquire government. Apart from some descriptive discussion of actual de-amalgamation episodes, almost no prescriptive analysis exists on the optimal form any de-merger process may take. Using two documented cases of de-amalgamation in metropolitan and regional settings, this exploratory paper seeks to address this gap in the literature on local government by presenting a 'stylised' approach to de-amalgamation designed for Australian local government conditions built around five generic principles. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Australian Journal of Political Science, 46(4), p. 601-615 | Publisher: | Routledge | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1363-030X 1036-1146 |
