WALGA is an independent, member-based, not-for-profit organisation representing and supporting the WA Local Government sector.
We are the peak body for all 139 Local Governments in WA and as a member-based organisation our role is to support Local Government to deliver better outcomes for their communities. We are made up of 5 portfolios, Member Services, Policy, Advocacy, Infrastructure and Executive and Corporate Services which house a number of smaller teams, that all work together to deliver on our strategic initiatives.
At the heart of this though are our people who enable us to achieve these outcomes.
