Constitutional Recognition

Local Government Constitutional Summit – A Special National General Assembly

The achievement of formal recognition remains one of the most cherished goals of local government, so we can finally take a seat at the federalism table as an equal partner with the states and the Commonwealth. The recognition of local government in the Constitution has been central to debate at successive National General Assemblies of Local Government.

ALGA, in consultation with state and territory local government associations, is convening a Local Government Constitutional Summit at the end of this year to bring together councils to discuss and reach agreement on a position to put to the Federal Government. Prior to that Summit, meetings will be held at state and territory level to consider the issues in detail.

Dates: 8-11 December 2008
Location: Melbourne Convention Centre, Southbank Victoria
