地方政府做什么

什么是地方政府?
地方政府和地方当局是用来描述新西兰任何或所有地区、区、城市或单一理事会的术语。虽然中央政府关心对所有新西兰人都具有重要意义的更广泛问题,但地方政府管理地方社区特有的问题。新西兰有 78 个议会。有:11 个区议会、12 个市议会、54 个区议会和奥克兰理事会(统一机构)。

区域委员会
区域委员会的主要责任是管理整个区域的环境、资源和运输规划问题。一个地区可能包括一些领土当局。地区委员会负责管理:

  • 可持续利用土地、空气和水
  • 河流、洪水控制和减轻土壤侵蚀
  • 动物和计划害虫控制
  • 陆运规划和承包客运服务
  • 港口航行, 安全划船, 管理漏油以及与海洋污染有关的其他问题.
  • 地区授权(城市和区议会)
    有两种类型的领土当局,市议会代表的人口超过 50,000 人,主要以城市为基础,地区议会的人口较小且分散更广泛。地区当局通常为其社区管理以下服务:

  • 供水
  • 道路和公共交通服务
  • 出售的废物收集和处置
  • 避免或减轻自然灾害
  • 监管机构服务(例如狗管制、酒牌)
  • 图书馆, 博物馆, 保护区, 娱乐设施和其他社区基础设施.
  • 统一权威
    统一当局是一个领土当局,它也拥有区域委员会的权力和责任。新西兰有六个统一管理机构,它们是:

  • 奥克兰议会
  • 吉斯伯恩区议会
  • 查塔姆群岛议会
  • 马尔堡区议会
  • 尼尔森市议会
  • 塔斯曼区议会
  • 理事会是如何组建和管理的?
  • 议会由民选成员管理。选举议员和市长是为了做出决定,代表社区的需求和利益。
  • 每个议会区域的投票人口选举其领土管理机构和地区议会的议员。在地方当局,市长由社区直接选举产生领导委员会。在区域委员会中,理事会的领导人是主席。主席是由议员选出的当选成员。
  • 奥克兰的情况略有不同。奥克兰有一个由 21 名成员组成的理事机构,负责理事会的总体方向。该机构与另外 21 个地方委员会分担治理责任,这些委员会代表大奥克兰地区较小地区的利益。
  • 理事会的运作由首席执行官管理,由当选成员任命,任期五年,工作人员在行政长官的指导下执行理事会的日常工作。
  • 社区董事会

    许多地方当局都有社区委员会。这些有助于代表社区的观点并向理事会提供建议。社区委员会成员同时当选为议员。社区委员会的权力由理事会授予它。这些权力因理事会而异。社区董事会与奥克兰的当地董事会不同。

    地方当局有什么权力?
    地方当局所做的一切都受立法框架管辖。这个框架由议会建立。管理和赋予地方政府体系权力的一些关键法律有:

  • 2002 年《地方政府法》(规定了理事会的一般权力、规划和问责要求)
  • 2002 年《地方政府(评级)法》(规定了议会通过税率筹集收入的方法)
  • 2001 年《地方选举法》(规定了议会选举进程)
  • 此外,许多地方政府的活动受到不同的议会法案的约束,例如 1991 年《资源管理法》、2004 年《建筑法》和 1993 年《生物安全法》。

    当地章程
    地方当局有权制定地方章程。这使委员会能够执行有助于:

  • 保护公众免受滋扰
  • 保护、促进和维护公共健康和安全
  • 尽量减少公共场所的攻击行为的可能性
  • 规范活动,例如废物管理
  • 资助地方政府
    地方当局从社区筹集所需的大部分资金。资料来源包括财产费率、投资回报以及从所提供服务的费用和收费中筹集的资金。理事会还可以通过借款为重大项目筹集资金。议会商定了从各种收入来源筹集的多少资金,并将其纳入委员会的长期计划或年度计划。中央政府还为活动提供一些资金或补贴。这通常是为了帮助议会提供道路和公共交通服务。
    决策是如何做出的?
    理事会可以随时就任何主题与其社区进行磋商,并要求提交反馈意见。此外,理事会必须就财务规划和决策与当地社区进行协商。

    所有议会都必须每三年发布一次长期计划(LTP)。LTP 描述了该委员会未来 10 年的活动、优先事项和工作方案。这是一个关键的规划工具,概述了理事会打算做的一切、它将如何组合起来以及将花费的费用。

    理事会需要分发 LTP 草案摘要,以便社区中的每个人都知道提议的内容,并有机会提交意见。提交的材料为理事会提供了关于其未来方向和优先事项的重要反馈。

    在不需要制定 LPT 的两年里,议会制定了年度计划。年度计划阐述了委员会计划在未来 12 个月内做什么,以及这与最近的 LTP 的关系。与 LPT 一样,年度计划草案也开放供公众提交。

    理事会还必须编写年度报告。这告诉社区理事会在 LTP 和年度计划方面的表现情况。

    LTP 和年度计划均在 7 月财政年度开始之前获得通过。年度报告必须在每年 10 月 31 日之前通过。所有 LTP 和年度报告文件都经过审计。

    所有这些草稿和最终文件都可以在你的理事会网站上查看。

    我怎样才能参与?
    有许多方法可以参与地方政府的活动和决策。

    如果你年满 18 岁,你可以:

  • 在你的地方议会选举中投票
  • 当选为议员或社区委员会成员
  • 在任何年龄段,你可以吗?

  • 就委员会的年度计划、LTP 或委员会可能运行的任何其他磋商进程提交反馈意见
  • 出席理事会会议并在会议上发言(会议时间表在理事会网站上公布)。
