At the recent Local Government Managers Australia National Congress in Adelaide, Local Government FOCUS invited delegates to nominate staff members or teams from their council who are excelling in their professional field by improving their council’s operations and enhancing services for their community.
Similar to previous years, we received a range of quality entries and would like to thank all delegates who submitted nominations.
From the entries received, six staff members and six teams have been selected. Over the next six months, FOCUS will showcase the winners, with one team and one individual featured in each edition, commencing in our July edition.
