Taking place at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre between September 22-24, the WALGA Local Government Convention is the landmark event in the Local Government calendar.
We bring together Elected Members, suppliers, Council officers and key stakeholders as part of a unique program of professional development, networking and business opportunities.
The Budget contains important measures reflective of the WALGA’s advocacy in areas of road safety, health, housing, emergency management, telecommunications and safer children's crossings.
WALGA is pleased to see funding provided in areas that will support Local Government and will continue to advocate for missed opportunities on behalf of its Members and the communities they represent.
The WALGA June 2025 Quarterly Economic Briefing is now available for members. The briefing provides Local Governments with a snapshot of the current economic climate and economic conditions impacting our sector.
WALGA's latest Quarterly Economic Briefing contains unique data and insights tailored for Local Governments in WA.
