Tomorrow's World

WALGA LOCAL GOVERNMENT CONVENTION 2026

About LGC26

The WALGA Local Government Convention is the landmark event in the Local Government calendar.

We bring together Elected Members, Senior Executives, Council Officers, suppliers and key stakeholders as part of a unique program of professional development, networking and business opportunities.

The convention exhibition is also an opportunity for Preferred Suppliers to meet Council representatives and showcase the latest innovations and technologies across the sector.

Tomorrow’s World reflects the rapidly changing environment facing Local Governments across Western Australia. From emerging technologies and shifting community expectations to economic pressures and global uncertainty, the challenges and opportunities facing the sector are evolving faster than ever before. 

 

And not only are they evolving fast, the issues and possibilities are hugely diverse across our State. 

 

No two Local Governments, Councils or communities are the same. From remote and regional communities to metropolitan, every Member faces unique challenges, opportunities and priorities. 

Your Priorities. Your Program.

This year’s Convention is designed to maximise choice and relevance.

Whether your focus is professional growth, solving local challenges, discovering new approaches or hearing what’s working for other Local Governments, you can shape a Convention experience that delivers relevant insights and meaningful outcomes for your community.
