Driving LGNZ’s advocacy priorities: join a reference group

LGNZ is setting up a reference group for each of our advocacy priorities:

1. Financially sustainable and cost-effective local government
2. Meeting current and future infrastructure needs
3. Resilient regional communities, economies, and environments
4. A responsive and accountable local government system (including structure).

We want a range of people on these groups: Mayors, Chairs, councillors and expert council staff. The workload is likely to be three meetings a year plus some engagement outside meetings.

Desired knowledge or expertise could include:

1. Financially sustainable and cost-effective local government
   • Local government funding and finance; key cost drivers; procurement; CCOs; shared services.

2. Meeting current and future infrastructure needs

3. Resilient regional communities, economies, and environments

4. A responsive and accountable local government system (including structure)

If you are interested, please fill in this form. National Council will finalise group membership at its next meeting.

If you need or want more information, please email Ralph– or if you need help with the form, please email Mikaela.
