LOCAL SOLUTIONS TO NATIONAL CONCERNS

Wednesday, 18 June 2025

Some of the most critical issues facing Regional Australia will be raised by the Murray River Group of Councils at the nation’s premier Local Government forum.

The Murray River Group – made up of Mildura, Swan Hill, Gannawarra, Loddon, Campaspe and Moira Shire Councils – has had seven motions accepted for discussion by the National General Assembly of the Australian Local Government Association to be held in Canberra 24 – 27 June 2025.

The National General Assembly provides a national platform for Local Government to address national priorities and advocate to the Federal Government on critical issues facing the sector. This year’s theme is National Priorities Need Local Solutions, and the Murray River Group has focused on seven key areas – housing, energy, water, roads and bridges, resilient infrastructure, swimming pools renewal and Local Government financial sustainability.
