Prime Minister's welcome message
Welcome to the Australian Council of Local Government website.
The first ever meeting of the Australian Council of Local Government heralds a new era in collaboration between the Australian Government and local communities.
This gathering of the nation's local councils gives communities a real voice in shaping Australia's future.
This meeting is an opportunity to forge a new nation building partnership between governments.
This meeting is also an opportunity to work together to solve the challenges facing local and regional communities, such as urban congestion, delivering high-quality services, and improving the quality of life in our regional towns, suburbs and major cities.
I encourage you to look through this website to find out more about the meeting, and the important role local government plays providing essential services to all Australians.
And to those of you attending the inaugural meeting at Parliament House, I look forward to seeing you in Canberra.
