Join LGMA for the Working Effectively with Government Workshop.

Every council has a list of things it needs from government. Funding for the road. A planning decision. A policy that reflects what regional communities experience. Most of those cases are well argued and evidence based, and many still go nowhere.

The reason is rarely the merit. Government runs to its own rhythms and structures, and knowing which agency owns the problem, when the budget and policy windows open, and how to present a case so it can be acted on quickly makes the difference between a proposal that progresses and one that sits.

This half day workshop demystifies that process. Between them, Tess and Di have worked every side of the table: the department that assesses the proposal, the ministerial office that decides its fate, and the peak body making the case.

If you want to strengthen your council’s ability to work effectively with government, this is a session worth attending.

Yesterday, LGMA Queensland President Daniel Fletcher represented our members at the public hearing for the Parliamentary Inquiry into the Operation and Effectiveness of the Councillor Conduct Framework in Queensland.

Daniel took the practical experience and perspectives of Queensland’s local government professionals directly to the Committee, reinforcing the need for a framework that retains independent oversight for serious matters while being more preventative, proportionate, timely and grounded in the realities of council governance.

LGMA Queensland also highlighted the broader impact conduct matters can have on leadership, staff confidence, organisational stability and the ability of councils to focus on serving their communities.

Thank you to the members whose experience and insights helped shape our submission and the issues raised at the hearing.

Our advocacy continues as the Inquiry progresses.
