At a time when councils are being asked to do more with less, financial sustainability has become a defining challenge for local government.

The Victorian Local Governance Association (VLGA) would like to congratulate its two newly elected board members, Cr Jane Karslake and Cr Mia Shaw. Both will commence their three-year term on the VLGA Board as of 1 July 2025.

Many of the challenges that local government faces are shared with colleagues in other countries. Pooling learning and adapting emerging innovation to fit local circumstances will be key to how the sector around the world finds solutions to ensure a sustainable future for councils everywhere.

The Victorian Local Governance Association remains committed to providing resources and delivering programs that promote the highest standards of civility and respect across the local government sector.
