How Departments Are Organised
The Assembly's departments are organised under six sub-committees of the Executive Committee, each overseeing a cluster of related sectors and units. This structure ensures coordinated service delivery and clear lines of accountability across all areas of governance.
The sub-committees — Finance & Administration, Development Planning, Social Services, Works, Justice & Security, and Environmental — each report to the Executive Committee chaired by the District Chief Executive (DCE), with the District Coordinating Director (DCD) serving as Secretary.
