Relationships between the education and local government sectors have historically been related to matters such as rates impacts, building consents, attending to transport or community safety, or the use of parks, libraries and leisure facilities. Yet community well-being, for which local government is responsible, is influenced by the network of schools and other educational institutions within a particular geographic area, and the issues that affect them all. Education as an agent of well-being features strongly in the long term council community plans (LTCCPs) of local government (Reid, Scott & McNeill, 2006).
