This study aims at examining and reviewing thoroughly the local governance in Indonesia from time to time. This research employed normative a juridical method by searching the secondary data more. According to the research, we may state that local governance implementation has taken a long road and continuous changes pursuant to the laws and regulations regulating it. The relatively interesting dynamics are that Constitutional Court Decision No. 137/PUU-XIII/2015 states that cancellation of local regulation is under the Supreme Court’s authority. In addition, Law No. 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation actually revokes some authorities granted to local level to be that of the central level, although the Law aims at correcting overlapping laws and regulations.
