The 2017 Local Government Convention was held from Wednesday 2nd August to Friday 4th August at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre and was attended by four representatives from the Shire of Dumbleyung, Shire President Cr Gordon Davidson, Deputy President Cr Jacki Ball, Cr Nick Green and Manager of Works & Services Mr Calvin Shotter. The Convention brings together several hundred senior Local Government Council representatives from across the State. The program reflects WALGA’s fresh perspective on how to better understand and respond to the needs of Local Government by focusing on improving Member engagement and service.
The event not only provides our Members with the chance to gain knowledge from highly acclaimed keynote speakers but as part of the event, the Western Australian Local Government Association Honours Awards for 2017 are awarded. Of the 48 recipients, we are extremely proud to announce that two of these were from the Shire of Dumbleyung.
