Our Annual State Conference is developed to have broad appeal and relevance for the entire sector
2025 OverviewJoin us for the LG Professionals SA Annual State Conference, themed “Growth Unleashed”, where we will explore the essential dimensions of professional, community, and economic growth for local government employees. The conference will begin with insights on enhancing work-life balance and performance through effective transitions between tasks and interactions. You will learn how to create supportive work environments that minimise stress and foster resilience, ensuring that individuals can thrive during periods of change. We’ll dive into critical demographic trends affecting Australia, identifying both challenges and opportunities for government and business in the coming years. Thought-provoking discussions will challenge conventional thinking about local government, focusing on the qualities that contribute to high-performing cultures. Empowering community members to become champions of change will be a central theme, with actionable strategies to inspire collective action and drive meaningful initiatives in local communities. With interactive sessions and networking opportunities, the LG Professionals SA Annual State Conference promises to be an enriching experience. Join us as we harness actionable strategies to unleash our potential, and collaborate to create a brighter future for our communities. Developed by the sector for the sector, this conference program is highly relevant and engaging for local government professionals in all job roles and levels, from metropolitan and regional councils and subsidiaries.

Megan HayOverview of our 2024 Annual State Conference 'NEXT GEN'
Thank you to the 300 local government professionals who joined us last Friday, 22 March, at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre for the
LG Professionals SA Annual State Conference. With a fantastic mix of speakers, engaging topics and opportunities for networking, it was a great day for everyone involved!
The theme of this year’s conference was NEXT GEN. We took the opportunity to explore with the sector what the future looks like for local government, how to engage Gen Z and collaborate across the generational divides, what inter-agency collaboration looks like (with a special visit from SA Power Network’s Spot the Robot Dog), and how best we can enhance the experience of our customers. We heard from District Council of Kimba, who have developed and maintained a robust social licence with their community, and finished the day with a story of perseverance, creating your own opportunities and never giving up from self-appointed Sudoku Hall of Famer, Mick Collis. Thank you to Mick, Simon Waller, Isabella Villani, Nick Hart and Spot, Deb Larwood, Dean Johnson, Mark Withers, Katie Iles, Damian Carter, Donna Dunbar, Dayton Tahuri and Shraddha Dhungel for taking the stage and creating a fantastic conference.
Thank you also to our corporate partners and event sponsors, without whom our events would not be possible. We look forward to seeing you all again next year for our Annual State Conference on Friday, 21 March 2025.
