Abstract
At the outset, this project had three related aims:
1. To document the early experience of the recent Local Decision Making (LDM) policy and framework from the point of view of the Northern Territory Government (NTG);
2. To establish what motives usually drive the instigation and implementation of such policies; in the context of government services devolution according to the broad literature, in remote regions inhabited by Indigenous communities according to policy advocates, and in the interpretation of key NTG executives who played key roles in carrying it out;
3. To inform the lessons, successes and surprises encountered around implementation and uptake in the specific context of the Northern Territory’s (NT) remote regions.
