Visit to LG Professionals Australia　

Posted on by admin

On 7 May, CLAIR Sydney staff witnessed local government staff in action at the NSW Management Challenge 2019 in Liverpool, at the kind invitation of Local Government Professionals Australia (LG Professionals Australia). Further to this meeting, CLAIR Sydney staff visited the LG Professionals Australia office in Canberra on 19 Jun. LG Professionals Australia is an association where staff from local governments all around Australia can freely join, and gain valuable opportunities to improve their skills.

Discussions were held with CEO Clare Sullivan and Mr Matthew Lentini with regard to CLAIR’s involvement in the upcoming annual national congress, which will be held in Darwin from 31 Jul to 2 Aug.

We were very pleased to hear that many LG Professionals Australia staff and members are interested in CLAIR’s annual Local Government Exchange and Cooperation Seminar. They are also interested in shared contemporary problems faced by local governments in Australia and Japan, such as waste management, infrastructure maintenance and population.

We thank LG Professionals Australia for their valuable time, and will strive to represent Japanese local governments at the annual national congress.

    The Nagoya City official who came to Australia to participate in the Australian Multiculturalism Study Tour hosted by CLAIR Sydney, paid a visit to Sydney City Town Hall on Friday 24 November, and we assisted his visit. In addition to sharing information on the status of exchanges between the two cities’ sister zoos (Taronga Zoo and Higashiyama Zoo) and international exchanges in Nagoya City, a preliminary meeting was held for Deputy Mayor Matsuo’s visit to Sydney for December 2023.
     
    With the landmark year only two years away, CLAIR Sydney will continue to support the exchanges between the two cities.
