The LGA's spring budget 2017 submission

The LGA’s Spring Budget submission calls on the Government to reverse the current funding outlook for local government and secure its financial sustainability.


This is not a call for resources as an end in itself for inward looking councils. Nor is it a call to protect one type of council, or one area of the country, over another. Rather it is a call for the funding that all councils require to provide the full range of services that support their local communities and contribute to a bigger national picture.
