The Minister for Local Government is seeking a panel of nominees from LG Professionals WA for membership on the Local Government Advisory Board.
The Local Government Act requires that the Advisory Board consists of 5 members appointed by the Governor of Western Australia of whom one person is to be a person having experience as the Chief Executive Officer of a local government appointed from a list submitted to the Minister by Local Government Professionals Australia (WA).
