National General Assembly of Australian Local Government Association

CLAIR Sydney staff members attended the 2018 National General Assembly of Australian Local Government Association in Canberra from 17 to 20 of June.

The theme for this year’s NGA was “Australia’s Future: Make it Local”. The discussion focused on a wide range of topics such as gender equality, liveable communities, and the balance between innovation and public interest. CLAIR Sydney staff participated in various keynote sessions to learn about current challenges faced by Australian local governments.

CLAIR Sydney ran a booth to promote the upcoming Local Government Exchange and Cooperation Seminar, Japanese culture, and sightseeing destinations in Japan. We also exchanged ideas and information with many mayors and councillors during the conference. This conference was a great opportunity for us to further develop our understanding of Australian local governments.

  • 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.
