Short description:

This survey report presents findings on the range and extent of public participation initiatives being used across local government. It updates baseline research published in 1998 and shows that local government continues to push forward the agenda on public participation. Authorities clearly recognise the benefits of engaging the public and are increasingly trying to involve people in local decisions and developing service delivery.
