The NSW local Government sector is supported by several commissions and tribunals that provide oversight, accountability and expert advice. These bodies play a vital role in maintaining strong governance, fair decision‑making and the effective operation of councils across the state.
The Local Government Pecuniary Interest and Disciplinary Tribunal is now a responsibility of the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal.
The Local Government Boundaries Commission is an independent statutory authority which examines matters referred by the Minister for Local Government and the Chief Executive of the Office of Local Government.
NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal
The NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT) hears matters relating to councillor misconduct and breaches of the pecuniary interest provisions of the Local Government Act 1993. This function has now been transferred to the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal.
