Through intensive small group delivery, facilitated by subject matter experts from across the sector, VLGA intensive workshops are both efficient for councillors and affordable for councils. These sessions have been designed to cover the 13 modules outlined within the mandatory guidelines for the first year of the term, combining them into six half-day sessions.

This module will build on the information, knowledge and skills relating to strategic planning addressed during induction.

Councillors will also gain knowledge and skills relating to strategic planning such as:

Setting and measuring outcomes
Service planning, innovation and continuous improvement
Collaborating with other agencies such as other councils, governments and statutory bodies and regional, state and national plans and policies
Municipal public health and wellbeing plans

This module will focus on effective financial and risk management and will build on the information, knowledge and skills relating to financial and risk management addressed during induction.

In addition, councillors will gain knowledge and skills relating to financial and risk management such as asset management and setting rates.

These intensive workshops have been designed for councillors to attend as a group where they can grow their knowledge through shared learning and peer support.
