Local Governments are responsible for the provision of safe and efficient local road networks, while at the same time managing the potential impacts of road works programs on the important biodiversity values that exist in road reserves. WALGA hosts workshops for the sector every year, with previous events held in Manjmup, Pingelly, Margaret River, Northam and Dardanup.
