		This is due to the phenomenon in some regional variants of Australian English of referring to the geographic area belonging to a local government as a council, when in other countries this word refers only to the board of elected politicians that administers local government affairs.
		Another term used, especially for the LGA governing bodies is G3 for the third level of Government in Australia.

		We are not aware that there is a law of this state authorising any person to prescribe the area over which a local government council may exercise authority.
		It is needless saying that any purported requests for the creation of a New Local Government Area wrongly passed into law by the House of Assembly is bound to generate controversy and possible legal action to declare such a law unconstitutional and a nullity.

		Running parallel to central government in Italy are three tiers of local government listed in order of ascending importance: il comune (the town council), la provincia (province), and the twenty regioni (regions); the latter comprising the country’s largest administrative units.
		The bureaucratic function of the provinces is obscure, since almost everything they do is duplicated by the other two tiers of local government.
		Finally, the communes, elected once every four years (as are all other tiers of government) deal with all matters of local administration: local taxes, administration of social security services, housing, roads and transportation, etc. The communes are headed by the sindaco (mayor) who is assisted by gli assessori (the councilors).
