LGNSW Annual Conference 2019

Posted on by admin

The Local Government NSW (LGNSW) Annual Conference 2019 was held from 14 to 16 Oct in Warwick Farm. Mayors, councillors and other related local government officials from NSW attended this conference.

In this conference, local government requests to the NSW State Government were summarised. The conference also featured lectures and sessions held by local government staff, various specialists and other professionals regarding challenges faced by local governments.

The conference also had a booth area ran by relevant institutions and gave opportunities for networking.

More than 600 participants gathered from all over New South Wales to attend this valuable event.

CLAIR Sydney ran a booth to provide information about our recent activities, opportunities such as the Local Government Exchange and Cooperation Seminar, major sports events (in particular the Rugby World Cup 2019, 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games and World Masters Games 2021 KANSAI) and Japanese tourism destinations.

We were honoured to meet many people who visited our booth to learn more about CLAIR Sydney and Japanese local governments. Alumni of the CLAIR Local Government Exchange and Cooperation Seminar and mayors and councillors whose councils have sister city relationships with Japanese local governments also kindly visited our booth. There were some participants who expressed their condolences for the victims of Typhoon Hagibis that recently struck Japan.

Thanks to this event, CLAIR Sydney was able to strengthen our relationships with many local governments in Australia.

We aim to continue to learn and research about the current challenges and best practices of Australian local governments, strengthen our relationships with these local governments, and promote regional Japanese tourism destinations.

  • From the 3rd to the 13th of December, eight selected swimmers from the Fukuoka Swimming Association visited NSW, where they participated in joint training sessions with a local school and competed in the 2024-25 Speedo NSW Senior State Age Championships.

    During the joint training, the athletes deepened their connections, and in the competition, the Fukuoka swimmers achieved remarkable success, earning numerous medals.
     
    The visit is based on the Memorandum of Understanding signed in December 2023 between the Fukuoka Prefecture, the Fukuoka Swimming Association, and Swimming NSW. CLAIR Sydney received a request from Fukuoka Prefecture to assist them with their activities and accompanied them during some parts of their visit.
     
    We will continue to support and deepen exchanges in the field of sports between Fukuoka Prefecture and NSW.
    To all the athletes, coaches, and accompanying staffs, Otsukaresamadeshita!

  • To investigate environmental countermeasures, a student and her chaperone from Hikone Technological High School of Shiga Prefecture visited Australia from late July to early August. CLAIR Sydney conducted a briefing on 29 July about Australia’s culture and customs, and accompanied the group to a company visit in Brisbane on 31 July, where the company, known for producing products using a type of seaweed called Asparagopsis, shared insights into their research and production processes.

    During the visit, they received information on efforts to reduce methane emissions from livestock using Asparagopsis, viewed from a carbon-neutral perspective. The student’s proactive participation in the meetings, driven by a desire to engage in environmental initiatives in the future, was impressive.

    In addition to the briefing and accompaniment, we also reached out to the company to request a representative to discuss their Asparagopsis research. CLAIR Sydney will continue to support the activities of Japanese local governments conducting research on topics related to Australia.
