Local Authorities that adopt and use the SOLGM Legal Compliance Modules, are in a position to demonstrate:
- An intention to comply with Laws, Regulations, Codes and Organisational Standards, and
- A positive compliance culture, with the ability to expose and develop procedures and processes that
make Legal Compliance easier to understand and achieve.
Legal Compliance can also be made more understandable and achievable by Contractors, Sub-contractors
and Agents.
The contents and methodology of the Legal Compliance Programme are regularly reviewed to ensure their
effectiveness, and to identify measures to improve Legal Compliance.
The Legal Compliance Project including the web site is overseen by a steering group who include-
- Andrew Besley (Chairperson) (Marlborough District Council)
- Bede Kearney (Audit New Zealand)
- Jamie Lyall (Marlborough District Council)
- Michael Le Roy-Dyson (Auckland Regional Council)
- Robyn McCulloch (Manukau City Council)
- David Smith (SOLGM)
- Don Mackay (SOLGM)
- Ian Sharp (Business Analytics)
- Howard Read (North Shore City Council)
- Tony Cronin (Kapiti Coast District)
