Come meet Phil LePetit from LG Focus

Find us -Local Government Focus (LG Focus) – at booth eight at this year’s ALGA Conference and come along, talk to Advertising Manager Phil Le Petit and make yourself known.

LG Focus is a highly regarded, independent newspaper reporting on the key issues that impact this vital sphere of government.

Produced monthly, LG Focus is distributed to the key decision makers in Local Government, elected members and senior staff.

Every Council in Australia receives on average 18 copies of our paper free of charge and each edition is archived on our website at www.lgfocus.com.au. We print 10,000 copies of a tabloid-sized paper that we are pretty proud of.

LG covers local government news, events, intergovernmental relations, best practice examples of councils large and small and aims to feature as many different councils as we can each year- big or small.

Specialist staff are sent a targeted copy of LG FOCUS when their particular area of responsibility is featured. For example, Human Resource Managers receive a reserved copy in February, IT Managers in March, Engineers in April and July.

The paper offer councils and businesses a chance to showcase their products or services via our monthly features covering specific areas of Local Government’s diverse role.

We offer editorial support, plus excellent discounts for multiple bookings and clients have the added option of online exposure at www.lgfocus.com.au.

Turn to our special feature, on pages 12-15
