This part of the law talks about how local government is set up in New Zealand. It tells you about three main things:
First, it explains how local government is organised. This means it shows you how the different parts of local government fit together.
Second, it tells you about how local authorities can be reorganised. Local authorities are the groups that run your local area, like your city council or district council.
Third, it says that the Local Government Commission will keep on working. This is a special group that helps make decisions about local government.
