This paper analyses how effectively local government in Australia performs its functions as a key element of subnational governance. Service delivery and local democracy are identified as the core functions of local government. The analysis takes into account paradigms of public administration, democracy and management, the public organization, accountability and capacity. The concept of 'capacity' brings together many of the issues discussed in this paper.

Paslaugų teikimas ir vietos demokratija yra išskirtos kaip pagrindinės vietos valdžios funkcijos. Analizėje naudojamos viešojo administravimo, demokratijos ir vadybos, viešosios organizacijos, atskaitomybės ir gebėjimų paradigmos. "Gebėjimų" koncepcija apjungia daugumą problemų aptariamų šiame straipsnyje. Gebėjimų klausimai bet kuriuo atveju yra susiję su tuo, kiek vietos valdžia efektyviai įgyvendina savo institucines funkcijas, kaip ji tai daro atsižvelgiant į gero valdymo principus, ir kokios jos gebėjimų dimensijos gali būtų reformuotos dėl poreikio atsiliepti į papildomus poreikius.
