Divisional responsibilities
Their role includes preparing legislation, providing advice and information to the State Government and local councils, regulating financial management and monitoring financial reporting practices of councils, and improving local government performance through provision of standards and guidelines and conducting reviews and investigations (often called Section 430 investigations).
As part of a drive to locate government offices in regional areas, the Division's head office is in the regional town of Nowra on the South Coast, but an office in Castlereagh Street in Sydney CBD also provides Departmental services.
