Local Government Focus Day (Government only- Free)

Local Government Focus Day Western Australia (27 Aug)
Registration via website only, free for public sector to attend
Western Australia’s local governments continue to navigate the challenge of delivering more with less. As frontline service providers, councils are balancing rising community expectations, constrained budgets, and the demands of maintaining ageing infrastructure, while working to modernise operations and strengthen organisational resilience.

Join us at the 2026 Local Government Focus Day, part of Public Sector Network’s Government Innovation Week Western Australia, to explore practical strategies and real-world case studies from across the sector. This action-oriented forum brings together local and state leaders to share insights on improving productivity, strengthening financial sustainability, and leveraging technology, including AI, to deliver better outcomes for communities.

What to expect:

• Hear directly from local government leaders
• Panel discussions and keynotes
• Interactive roundtables
