The Local Government Community
Services Association of
Australia
The LGCSAA
is the national professional
association for people
employed in Local Government
within community services,
community development
and social planning.
The Association
is a federation of state
based community services
associations. The states
nominate one of their
members to form the committee
of the national association.
The national president
is elected at the biennial
conference of the Association
from state nominations.
The Association
was formed at a national
Local Government community
development conference
in Canberra, 1986. One
of the major outcomes
of that Conference was
a strategic alliance with
the Australian Local Government
Association (ALGA) on
raising the profile of
community development
within Councils. In response
to the Federal Government’s
call at the time, for
greater rationalisation
in the planning and delivery
of community services,
the National Association
joined with the ALGA in
the preparation of national
papers and an action program
on Building Better Services
for Local Communities
and Integrated Local Area
Planning.
During the
past decade the Association
has demonstrated its commitment
to a strong and viable
Local Government public
sector through:
Recent times have brought
together staff from Councils
across Australia to particularly
focus on furthering our
understanding of good
practice and benchmarking
in community services
and community development.
The Association conducts
a biennial national conference
on community development
and is always keen to
hear from Council staff
across the nation.
