Who we are
Local Government NSW (LGNSW) is the peak body representing New South Wales local councils and
associate members, including county councils, joint organisations, and regional organisations of
councils.
Our role is to support, promote, advocate for, and represent the local government sector so our
members are in the best possible position to serve our NSW communities.
We do this by:
- Providing policy advice, management support and grants to members
- Empowering members to deliver quality services to meet the needs of their local community
- Providing effective, responsive, and accountable leadership on policy issues
- Enhancing community awareness and perception of local government
- Shaping the industrial environment in which the sector operates.
