Hosted via Teams
WALGA’s Q1 2026 Economic Briefing is now available for Members, featuring insights into fuel supply impacts, inflation, interest rates and updated Local Government Cost Index (LGCI) analysis to support financial planning and decision making across WA Local Governments.
To support Members in understanding the findings and what they mean for their Local Government, WALGA will be hosting a webinar focused on the key insights from the briefing.
The webinar will explore how current and potential oil shortages are affecting the Local Government sector, outline implications for costs and financial sustainability, and provide an opportunity for Members to ask questions and gain further insights.
WALGA will provide an overview of economic conditions and work currently under way, while ACIL Allen will present on their modelled flow‑on impacts to the Local Government Cost Index, including how these impacts may evolve over time as more data becomes available.
