Developing and implementing policy is a process of continuous improvement; there is never a moment when local government stop developing and reviewing policies. The Policy Development Guidelines have been developed to outline a process that can be used by local government to develop policies, using the format adopted for policies within the Local Government NRM Policy Manual.
