ABOUT

Over the past 12 months, Australia has been impacted by widespread drought, devastating bushfires, and the deadly Covid-19 pandemic.

In the midst of these catastrophes, ALGA was forced to cancel its annual National General Assembly for Local Government – the premier forum for the tier of government that is closest to the Australian community.

With few opportunities left in 2020 for the Local Government sector to connect on a national level, ALGA has expanded its National Local Roads and Transport Congress to encompass the issues everyone's talking about: natural disaster impacts, recovery and resilience, and the coronavirus pandemic.

The format has been extended to two and a half days to give delegates the opportunity to examine the issues impacting on Local Government and to work together to identify solutions that support all our communities while building their resilience.
