If your local council wants to move one of its existing activities or services to a council-controlled organisation, they need to follow the rules in Schedule 9. A council-controlled organisation is a company or group that your council controls or partly owns. Schedule 9 tells the council how to properly transfer the activity or service to the new organisation.
