Mayor Susannah Pearse spoke against a motion at the Annual Conference held at Tamworth Regional Entertainment and Conference Centre today, a motion that would have seen rural rates increase.
The Annual Conference is the supreme policy-making body of LGNSW and an opportunity for councillors to come together to share ideas and debate issues that shape the way LGNSW is governed and advocates on behalf of the local government sector.
LGNSW members may put forward motions for consideration of the Annual Conference. Where a majority of voting delegates at the Annual Conference vote in support of the motion, it is adopted as a resolution of LGNSW.
LGNSW updates its Policy Platform annually to reflect these resolutions, and they also inform our Advocacy Priorities.
The conference is also an opportunity for mayors and councillors from right across NSW to learn from and support each other, and consider new ways to deliver for the communities they represent.
The annual conference is held from Sunday 17 to Tuesday 19 November.
