1st National Local Government Environment Conference

9 - 11 July, 2008
Shangri-La Hotel, Cairns, Queensland

The environment is at the forefront of community and government interest, particularly in light of the climate change agenda. In addition, issues such as planning reforms, sustainability, natural resource management and waste are all squarely on the national agenda.

What does this mean for Australian local government and what is the current status of State and Federal Government policy in these critical areas? By drawing on key presenters from all levels of government and the private sector, case studies and the latest thinking from national experts, the 1st National Local Government Environment Conference will provide a unique insight into the opportunities and challenges for Australian local governments in managing the environment into the future.
