Welcome to Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ) - the organisation that represents the national interests of councils of New Zealand. As the champion of best practice in the local government sector, we provide policy, advice and training to councils.

The inaugural Local Government New Zealand Wellbeing Awards will be the new addition to the LGNZ annual conference this year.
These awards will showcase all that is remarkable in local government and will focus on successful environmental, social, cultural and economic projects councils undertake. Not only are these awards an opportunity to reward remarkable work, they also allow us to share success stories and learn about the work our counterparts are doing in local government.
