Local Government ThesaurusOn This Page
Background to the Local Government ThesaurusThe South Australian Local Government Thesaurus was borne from the South Australian Local Government General Disposal Schedule Project. It is a tool developed to assist Local Government Authorities (Councils) in South Australia meet their requirements of Adequate Records Management Practice. To ensure alignment with National and International Standards and consistency within the South Australian Government Framework for Records Management Practices, the South Australian Local Government Thesaurus was developed to mirror General Disposal Schedule No. 20 for Local Government Authorities (GDS 20). The project team responsible for the development of the GDS 20 undertook a comprehensive functional analysis of Local Government within South Australia. The result of this functional analysis was a Business Classification Scheme reflecting the Business Functions, Activities and Transactions of South Australian Local Government Authorities (Councils). The Business Classification Scheme was then used as a basis for the development of the GDS 20. To ensure consistency and alignment with standards, the same Business Classification Scheme was used in the development of the Local Government Thesaurus. The Functional hierarchical structure and terminology used in the GDS 20 has been carried through to the Local Government Thesaurus, making adequate classification, maintenance and disposal decisions and sentencing at the point of creation a reality for Councils. The implementation of the Local Government Thesaurus will assist Councils in their quest for practising adequate records management and in meeting the requirements of the Adequacy Standard.
