Member Advocacy

How the VLGA Advocates for its Members

The VLGA has front row seats to Ministerial decisions and discussions impacting the local government sector. As a VLGA member your experiences inform our engagement and conversations with government, directly helping to shape the agenda and future of the local government sector.

We work in partnership with other sector organisations, providing a united voice to government on issues that directly affect councils.
