“…In comparable nations much of the work of developing smaller cities, their population and economies would be undertaken by local government. Australian local governments are smaller and less powerful than municipalities in other countries, and the lack of intergovernmental coordination is frequently noted as a challenge to achieving coherent policy responses across government tiers in Australia (Howe 1995;Beer 2006). Moreover, unlike other developed nations, the urban system of Australia lacks medium-sized cities, and the nation's urban regions are characterised by continuous urban sprawl rather than a system of urban centres (Self 1995).…”

“…He also points out that no other advanced country tries to govem with so many large, specialised, uncoordinated functional departments at the state and federal levels. Local govemment amalgamations have, and are, highly emotive charged issues in the state-local govemment scene in Australia (Dollery and Marshall, 1997;Howe, 1995;Jones, 1993;ACIR, 1984). Local govemment opposition to state based solutions, (including the establishment of regional councils), can be gained from their advocacy of the altemative cooperative status quo approach which is clearly evident in the selected policies addressed in Appendix 3.1.…”

In common with other advanced market economies, regional and rural communities in Australia have come under increasing economic and social stress. One manifestation of this phenomenon is the growing spatial inequalities in social and economic conditions. This paper briefly reviews the genesis of spatial inequalities and examines their consequences in the contemporary Australian political milieu. The discussion concludes with an analysis of the policy implications of these inequalities for local governments and communities in disadvantaged regional and rural areas.
