The Hon Kristy McBain MP

As part of the Albanese Labor Government’s commitment to bringing local government back to the table as a trusted delivery partner of the services communities rely on, the Australian Council of Local Government (ACLG) will be re-established.

The Australian and Queensland Governments have acknowledged the significant achievements made during the first year of service delivery to the Norfolk Island community under the partnership for state services.

The Albanese Labor Government has passed legislation which will wipe the HELP debt of doctors or nurse practitioners who live and work in rural and remote parts of Australia, including in Eden-Monaro.

The Albanese Government is supporting local communities across Australia by providing $750 million through Phase 4 of the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program.

Entries are now open for the 2023 National Awards for Local Government, which will recognise outstanding innovation implemented by councils that has enhanced local communities.

Following five years of exemplary work in the role of Chief Executive of the National Capital Authority (NCA), Sally Barnes has been reappointed for a further three years.
