Coming up today on the Local Government News Roundup with Chris Eddy: funding announcements and election commitments wherever you turn; a world first achievement for a South Australian council; a major regional art gallery about to close for two years; and I’ll run you through the local government recipients from the 2022 Australian Honours List

The Local Government News Roundup is brought to you by the Victorian Local Governance Association. Its annual Fast Track Councillor Leadership Development program will be held in person at Melbourne’s Park Hyatt on Friday 18th March.

The theme for the program is Trust – the Foundation of Your Leadership Journey, and it will be packed with expert panel discussions, facilitated workshops and Q&A with the Minister for Local Government. To find out more, email sue@vlga.org.au today.
