LG Professionals Australia National Congress & Business Expo 2019

The LG Professionals Australia National Congress & Business Expo 2019 was held from 31 Jul to 2 Aug in Darwin. The conference featured lectures and sessions to further elevate the abilities of local government staff, and also incorporated many great opportunities for networking.

In one of the lectures, the Executive Director of CLAIR Sydney gave an overview of CLAIR, an outline of the Japanese local government system, and introduced the CLAIR Local Government Exchange & Cooperation Seminar to be held in Tokyo and Miyakonojo next February. Ms Candy Choo, an alumna of the Seminar last February, also gave a presentation on the wonderful experiences she had when she attended the Seminar.

The event also featured a booth area ran by relevant institutions and organisations. CLAIR Sydney ran a booth to provide information about our recent activities, the Local Government Exchange & Cooperation Seminar, upcoming notable sports events such as the Rugby World Cup 2019, 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games, and World Masters Games 2021 KANSAI, and tourism destinations in Japan. Many domestic and international expo attendees who are interested in Japan and CLAIR kindly visited our booth.

Thanks to this event, CLAIR Sydney was able to strengthen our relationships with many local governments and relevant organisations in Australia and New Zealand.

CLAIR Sydney will continue to promote exchange activities between local governments in Japan and Australia/New Zealand through the Local Government Exchange & Cooperation Seminar and more.

  • 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.
