2015 Local Government Showcase and Ordinary General Meeting
The 2015 LG Showcase and OGM will be held at the Adelaide Convention Centre, North Terrace, Adelaide on Thursday 30 April and Friday 1 May.
Note that the LGA is also expecting to offer an optional day on the Wednesday 29 April which will highlight key opportunities for Councils to participate in exciting opportunities with the benefits of sharing costs and learning with other SA Councils.
The 2015 Local Government Showcase is an opportunity for SA Councils to share and demonstrate their projects and services with their peers/fellow Councils. The LGA is inviting Councils or any Local Government related organisations to submit a case study/best practice project or service to Showcase at this event via the link below. Councils can either submit a project/service to be displayed in the exhibition area of the Showcase and/or as a presentation as part of the program. Online submissions are now closed. Please contact trudy.muggridge@lga.sa.gov.au if you would like to submit a presentation topic for consideration.
Registrations will open early March 2015. If you have any questions please contact Rebecca Wake on 8224 2047 or rebecca.wake@lga.sa.gov.au
