25.01.2022 We're looking forward to the many Council #NAIDOC2020 celebrations happening this week. This year’s NAIDOC Week theme Always Was, Always Will Be, highlights the importance of celebrating and reflecting on Australia's rich Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and heritage. We'd also like to take the opportunity to encourage more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to run for council at the council elections in September 2021. #localgovnsw #nswpol Logo: NAIDOC2020 Find out more https://bit.ly/3l77cIU

24.01.2022 The upcoming NSW Budget needs to invest big in local infrastructure and services to spearhead a locally led economic recovery, Local Government NSW said today. LGNSW President Councillor Linda Scott said the peak body’s Budget submission called for a cash injection into grassroots infrastructure, such as roads, cycleways and footpaths, water security and waste management facilities to bring needed improvements, economic activity and create local jobs. Councils are grateful f...or the financial support the NSW Government has delivered to help communities recover from a devastating year of drought, bushfires, floods and COVID-19, Cr Scott said.

21.01.2022 LGNSW was pleased to present our Annual Conference in an online format this year (on Monday 23 November 2020). While it was disappointing we could not catch up in person in Cessnock as planned, the updated Annual Conference program was developed to suit an online format. Here are some "behind-the-scenes" photos from the production studio in Mascot.... Did you take your own photos while taking part in the conference or viewing online? We'd love to see them, so please share to our page!

20.01.2022 It's sure been a tough year - but Local Government NSW has met many of its challenges head on and still achieved so much for our members! One of those challenges was holding yesterday's Annual Conference online, which received much positive feedback. We're looking forward to seeing each other face to face at next year's conference, which will be held from 16-18 November at Hyatt Regency Sydney. #LGNSW2020 #localgovernmentnsw #CouncilsDo

14.01.2022 State and Federal funding of more than $10 million for a new drug detox and rehabilitation centre in #Dubbo is a major step forward for dealing with worsening drug-related over-representation in the criminal justice system. LGNSW President Councillor Linda Scott said the NSW Government’s announcement of the $7.5 million facility, plus $3 million from the Commonwealth, was a positive outcome after calls from councils and LGNSW. Today’s funding announcement is a rewarding outc...ome for Dubbo Regional Council and NSW’s western region and it is pleasing the NSW Government heeded our call regarding this issue, Cr Scott said.

13.01.2022 Today’s NSW Budget has supported local government’s Save Our Recycling campaign with a $96 million commitment to extend the Waste Less Recycle More program and finalise the long-term strategy for waste. Local Government NSW President Councillor Linda Scott said the urgent need to educate communities was a key component of the Save Our Recycling campaign backed by NSW councils. Mayors and councillors welcome the fact that the NSW Government has listened to our advocacy to sav...e recycling and will invest $96 million towards a better recycling system, Cr Scott said.

03.01.2022 Last week’s NSW Auditor-General report on how the NSW Government uses the $800 million it collects annually through its Waste Levy confirms what Local Government NSW and councils have been saying for years that an overhaul of the State’s waste management system is urgently needed. LGNSW President Councillor Linda Scott said the report revealed about only a third of the revenue raised through the levy was spent on waste and environmental programs and that there continued to ...be an absence of a State strategy around waste and recycling management. In the absence of a formal State Government strategy and funding to save our recycling, NSW risks missing out on opportunities to create a clean, green circular economy in NSW and we risk seeing new employment opportunities lost to other Australian states and territories, Cr Scott said.
