    The Plain English movement was designed to cut through the confusing legalese of important documents in an effort to create clear and coherent communication using common, everyday language that is easily understood by the reader. Incorporating Plain English principles into your work will result in less writing time, shorter documents and enhanced readability.

    Even if your role doesn’t require a lot of writing, how you come across is crucial to your credibility. The ability to write clearly, precisely, powerfully and persuasively is a key skill that enables you to summarise and present ideas, build relationships and gain commitment to action. It can also demonstrate your knowledge, confidence and professionalism.

    This course uses your own writing examples to demonstrate the use of Plain English principles and persuasive writing techniques.

    Before registering please note that the course will be delivered in person at LG House, 148 Frome Street, Adelaide.

    Facilitated by David Romano, Director, Pique Global

    9.15am Arrivals
    9.30am Welcome
    9.35am Focusing on what, who and when matters

    Local government General Managers/Directors tackle numerous competing and at times conflicting tensions in their role. With the changing nature of the local government sector, increasing expectations and recent local government elections how do we break through the noise to focus, prioritise and deliver?

    Do you recognise the below?

    • I need to drive large change initiatives over the next few years while also addressing the numerous day to day demands of the role. Sometimes these operational demands change off the back of an elected member or community request. How do I prioritise and focus on what matters, who matters and when matters?
    • Our new elected members (or even those re-elected)  are keen to make a difference. How do I manage these new priorities against the ever-present community expectations?

    Join us and your Network peers as we explore these challenges, drawing upon the ideas and tips that exist across the network.
    10.45am Morning Tea

    Supporting local government to ‘grow your own’ Urban and Regional Planners

    Vanessa Leigh, Program Manager – Murray River Regional Study Hub, Rural City of Murray Bridge

    The Murray River Study Hub, in partnership with Uni Hub Spencer Gulf (MRSH/USG) have identified an opportunity to address the workforce shortages in qualified urban and regional planners in South Australia through a Council led, ‘grow your own’ initiative.

    Currently, there is no undergraduate Urban and Regional Planning course available through a South Australian University, to support the qualification of Urban and Regional Planners. Through targeted promotion of the sector needs, providing study options that align with individual skills and experience and utilising an existing, supported learning environment for students in South Australia, MRSH/USG believe Councils can play a lead role in building their planning workforce across the State.

    Hear more about this exciting initiative from Vanessa Leigh, Rural City of Murray Bridge who will share more on the program, including developments based on State Government consultation.

    Contribute to and support the progression of this important initiative, which will support the South Australian Local Government sector to fill a major skills shortage gap.
     3.00pm

    Austerity and Innovation

    John Baker, CEO, Mornington Peninsula Shire, VIC

    Previously Partner, Head of Local Public Services and Human Services UK and Australia for Ernst and Young

    John is an experienced leader with an extensive career background of working in complex political environments including local government, aged care, disability and Children’s Services. Drawing on his experience as lead partner for Local Government during the GFC in the UK, and as a CEO in Victorian Local Government, John will reflect on the introduction of the UK government austerity programme, rate capping and impacts on service delivery, stimulating thinking as to how we, as a sector, can identify a route out of financial challenges through innovation.
     4.00pm  

    Closing Remarks

    Please join your CEO Network peers and interstate guest John Baker as we head to a nearby venue for informal Networking Drinks - an opportunity to further expand on discussions of the forum and foster relationships with peers.

    In local government, there is so much that is beyond our control, and change is constant. To build engagement and buy-in to the offerings of local government, our people must be focused, motivated, innovative, and creative. In turn, this generates positive interactions and experiences for our communities. In 2023 and beyond, how can we as individuals, and as a sector, work together to push upwards to reach new heights of innovation and success?

    The 2023 LG Professionals SA Annual State Conference: Reaching New Heights program draws on the knowledge and experience of multiple expert speakers outside our sector, as well as key insights from those within it to deliver a day of inspiring, relevant and educational content to invigorate you for the challenges and opportunities that working in local government brings.

    All local government professionals are encouraged to attend. Join your sector colleagues as we uncover:

    • How the challenges we face can breed an innovative, high performing culture
    • The keys to creating truly inclusive workplaces where everyone thrives
    • What the current local government ‘brand’ looks like, and how we can increase the positive perception of our brand
    • How to make courageous decisions and take calculated risks to increase your success
    • The new competitive advantage which will allow you to flourish in a world of constant change

    Register


    Negotiation is a key skill for leaders and professionals, but few people have had any formal training in it. In the workplace, negotiations range from the formal to the informal, from short in length to those that take place over the course of months or years, from those that prioritise outcomes to those that prioritise relationships, from the very competitive to the very collaborative.

    This course is designed to help professionals gain an insight into their current negotiation behaviours and preferences, to understand the fundamental framework for all negotiations and to develop the skills and micro-skills that are necessary to navigate through the range of negotiations they face in the workplace.

    Before registering please note that the course will be delivered in person at LG House, 148 Frome Street, Adelaide.

    For more information, visit https://lgprofessionalssa.org.au/negotiation-skills/.

    Katrina Lazaroff is the CEO/Artistic Director of The Mill, South Australia’s leading multidisciplinary arts organisation. Their vision is for a thriving and prosperous arts culture in South Australia and they achieve this by fostering the interconnection between creatives and audiences through programming and presentation.

Through creative thinking and challenging ourselves to think differently, we can become comfortable with the uncomfortable and achieve success in new ways that previously might not have seemed possible.

    Business Support Officer - Organisational Development,
    City of Playford 

    With 10 years’ experience in the local government sector, Tahlia started her career as a Maxima trainee at a small metropolitan council, working in customer service and the library.

This role increased her knowledge and experience, developing strategic awareness with strong linkages to the community.

    Continuing her career journey in the sector by joining LG Professionals SA as Network and Programs Officer, this role included supporting 5 local government networks, delivering smaller events and larger conferences. In 2021, Tahlia joined the City of Playford as the Business Support Officer – Organisational Development, focusing on organisational wide projects. She is currently studying a Certificate IV in Human Resources and looking to gain as much experience as possible in this field.


    Simone Lavelle

    Although new to council, Simone brings with her a wealth of experience in community development, having worked in the not-for-profit sector for over 7 years, with her most recent role at Guide Dogs. Prior to this Simone started her career in finance on the trading floor, until she woke up one day and decided she was going to change the world.

    She will be sharing what it is like to embark on a new journey in local government and how her experiences have varied across three different sectors.


    Sally Niehuus

    Many leaders find conversations about performance to be difficult and too often avoid them altogether.  Providing feedback, particularly when a team member’s performance falls short of expectations is one of the most critical functions a leader performs.  Yet for many this is one of the most dreaded and avoided.

    This program enables participants to develop skills and confidence in holding these conversations in an easy and comfortable environment.  Participants are provided opportunities to engage with a new and contemporary approach.  They will prepare for effective performance conversations in their workplace.
