"What Happens After a Review of a Local Council is Finished: A Written Report"

When a review of a territorial authority is finished, the person doing the review must prepare a written draft report. You will see this report includes what they found out and what they think should happen next. The reviewer must give a copy of this draft report to the chief executive and the territorial authority, and let them comment on it.

The reviewer must think about any comments they get from the chief executive and the territorial authority. After that, they prepare a final report that says what they found out and what they think should happen next.

The final report must say what the reviewer found out and why they came to those conclusions. The reviewer must give a copy of the final report to the Minister, the chief executive, and the territorial authority.
