About this book
Reviews
“This is a timely contribution to the field of local government in Australia. … a book that brings together the voluminous materials on local government in Australia will be of immensurable value to researchers interested in local government in particular and multi-level governance more generally. It will easily become the ‘go to’ reference for students and scholars alike.” (Robyn Hollander, Local Government Studies, October, 2017)
