Rio Lujan Neighborhood Advisory Council
The Rio Lujan Neighborhood Advisory Council was created by regulation No. 3709/19 of the Tigre City Council, after neighbors had expressed their discontent with the advancement of real estate projects in the city and the lack of protection of natural resources in the area. The Neighborhood Advisory Council is a participatory scheme in which neighbors of the Special Management District of the Luján River Plain influence the territorial design as well as the formulation and implementation of public policies. The maximum authority of the Neighborhood Advisory Council is a plenary of neighbors, which shall meet once a month and obtain a quorum of at least 15 people in order to hold a session. The prerequisite for participation is to reside in the Special Management District of the Luján River Plain or to be a representative of an institution located there. The Council is organized in four working commissions: "Sustainable Territory", "Sustainable Urban Development", "Economic Strengthening" and "Strengthening of Local Identity". Its decisions or conclusions, reached through a majority vote, are presented to the local executive branch, which must analyze them and determine their feasibility.
