Local Government Association of Queensland Information

The Local Government Association of Queensland acknowledges Australia’s First Nations Peoples as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the lands and waters on which we work and live, and gives respect to Elders past and present. The Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ) is the peak body for local government in Queensland. We are a not-for-profit association setup solely to serve the State's 77 councils and their individual needs. We have been advising, supporting and representing local councils since 1896, allowing them to improve their operations and strengthen relationships with their communities.
