The Victorian Local Governance Association is unique in Australia, being a peak body that has local government, community organisations and individuals making up its membership. Our local government members represent 80 percent of Victoria's population.
The VLGA advocates for social change and empowers local governments by strengthening their capacity to engage with their communities. It is governed by an elected Board of councillor, community, and individual members and is broad-based both geographically and politically; members are from rural and regional, interface and metropolitan areas and from a wide range of (or no) political affiliations.
As a values-driven organisation concerned with building democratic governance at the local level, a key focus of the VLGA is to ensure its membership includes local governments, councillors, individuals and community organisations. The VLGA also has a Governance Patron and highly regarded Life members.
