Australian Local Government Association 2023 National General Assembly (Canberra)(13-16 June)

From June 13th to 16th, the Australian Local Government Association’s 2023 annual National General Assembly was held in Canberra, with approximately 1,100 attendees, including mayors and councilors from throughout Australia.
 
At this meeting, local government heads and experts gave presentations and exchanged opinions on urgent issues in local governments in Australia, such as housing issues and workforce shortages.
 
The CLAIR Sydney set up a booth to promote the Local Government Exchange and Cooperation Seminars and the CLAIR Forums, as well as a large-scale international sports event to be held in Japan.
We were able to further strengthen our network in Australia by exchanging opinions with visitors about recent activities and sister city exchanges with local governments in Japan.
