“…there has been a growing social science literature on evaluating the performance of local government in Australia, especially in terms of its capacity and willingness to meet the needs of local inhabitants. An important part of this evaluation debate has been concerned with the role which local government does or can play for Aboriginal people and for Aboriginal communities (Rumley and Rumley. 1988).…”

“…To this end, its community government programme can be interpreted as being part of its government's perceived political development pathway. Whether the Federal Government or the local (especially Aboriginal) communities most directly affected share the same concept of political development is highly questionable, primarily on ideological grounds (Rumley. 1988).…”

This paper outlines four primary functions of the political organisation of space—participation, representation, service delivery and control It argues that there are inherent conflicts in the maximisation of these functions and that political geographers have paid insufficient attention to the degree to which territoriality implies a pre‐eminence of the control function. It is suggested that a ‘reformist’ conception of political geography is necessary in order to evaluate the extent to which this actually occurs and to make the sub‐discipline more policy relevant.
