Government in Australia operates on three levels: the federal level, the state and territory level and the local level. Each level holds a responsibility to legislate on specific areas of law and govern the rules and regulations of certain areas of Australia. The federal government, consisting of the House of Representatives and the Senate, creates and amends legislation that is then enforced in all of Australia. Individual state governments will govern their state, and legislate on matters that will only apply to the state it was created in. Similar areas of law can have different rules and regulations from state to state. On the local government level, councils and other subordinate bodies that have been delegated the ability to legislate will oversee smaller areas within states and will be responsible for matters such as maintaining public parks and roads as well as providing community services such as waste disposal and libraries.
