State and Federal Governments have high expectations and compliance regimes, but local government has limited capacity and resources to effectively meet these legitimate demands and also respond to the demands of the local residents and citizens. The lack of financial resources is exacerbated by limited human resource capacity, especially in the Glenelg Shire, the 5th worst local government area in the state in terms of education and occupation.

The novelty of this approach is exemplified in providing a systematic and detailed account of regulation in the public sector. However, given the sheer breadth of public sector services, a specific area of focus is needed.
