ABOUT THE ACLG

The Australian Government will hold the sixth Australian Council of Local Government (ACLG) on 5 July 2024 at the National Convention Centre in Canberra. The ACLG showcases the important partnership the Australian Government has with local governments across Australia, and puts local government priorities front and centre.

As a trusted partner, local governments are fundamental to the development and delivery of policies and programs for all Australians. The ACLG provides an important opportunity for councils to engage with Ministers on opportunities and challenges in their areas.

 The ACLG was first established as a formal meeting between senior leaders of local government and the Australian Government in 2008. The establishment of the ACLG in 2023 builds on the Australian Government’s commitment to work with local governments to build liveable and socially equitable communities in Australia’s cities and regions.

 The Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts is working with the Australian Local Government Association (ALGA) to deliver this important event. The ACLG will coincide with ALGA’s National General Assembly (NGA) from 2 to 4 July 2024.
