About the Conference
The LGNSW Annual conference is the annual policy-making event for all NSW councils and our associate members. It is the pre-eminent event of the local government year where councillors come together to share ideas and debate issues that shape the way we are governed.
All NSW councils, regional, country and metropolitan, meet with an anticipated 800 attendees from across the state, inclusive of mayors, councillors, general managers and senior staff.
Cessnock City Council will co-host the conference and assist with various aspects of the conference, such as showcasing their unique and distinctive experiences at social functions and partners' tours. With over 1.5 million visitors per year, Cessnock is bound to please delegates, their spouses and sponsors alike.
