Giguère and Considine state in the first chapter of this volume that a central expected outcome of partnerships is the formulation and implementation of proposals that are based on the local context and that give orientation to national policies and programmes. Harmonising national policy goals and local priorities remains a great challenge in all advanced economies. It requires priorities to be established in a clear and transparent way locally, and policies to be flexibly implemented to support significant geographical variation in application. Pressures to deliver public services at the lowest possible cost exacerbate this difficulty. This chapter considers this challenge in relation to recent changes to local government legislation in New Zealand, which has considerable implications for the implementation of national policies. It examines the influence of collaborative principles within the Local Government Act 2002 (LGA 2002) and considers the degree to which a new form of local governance is emerging.
