2022 Conference
The 2022 LGNZ annual conference and EXCELLENCE Awards were held in Palmerston North from 20-22 July.
Te Wā Heke Mai. The Future explored not just what’s possible for the future of local government, but how the sector can embrace the power of localism to deliver nationally.
Over 600 delegates attended, including mayors, chairs, chief executives, councillors and senior management from New Zealand's councils, along with key players from the private sector, business, government and non-government agencies.
Below is a selection of photos for the main conference sessions.
