Welcome to LGNSW’s
2025 Annual Conference

The Annual Conference will be held from Sunday 23 to Tuesday 25 November at Panthers Penrith and Western Sydney Conference Centre.

 

Our destination host council partner is Penrith City Council.

 

The Annual Conference is the supreme policy-making body of LGNSW and an opportunity for councillors to come together to share ideas and debate issues that shape the way LGNSW is governed and advocates on behalf of the local government sector.

 

LGNSW members may put forward motions for consideration of the Annual Conference. Where a majority of voting delegates at the Annual Conference vote in support of the motion, it is adopted as a resolution of LGNSW. LGNSW updates its Policy Platform annually to reflect these resolutions, and they also inform our Advocacy Priorities.

 

The conference is also an opportunity for mayors and councillors from right across NSW to learn from and support each other, and consider new ways to deliver for the communities they represent.
