I love local government because it is all about working for our local communities. It has been awesome to help the NPA Stars from the Nothern Peninsula Area Regional Council prepare for the LGMA Management Challenge held at Weipa recently. They have been such a great team to work with, both in person and online as we prepared over the last few weeks. Glendon, Peri, Devona, Damien and Shirley excelled with their team work, communication and unity. The future of local government is in good hands with (NPA) stars like this. They developed their own set of team values, one of which was humility. We can all learn from this! Thanks to LGMA for the opportunity to build local capacity and leadership in remote Councils which will ultimately benefit the local communities.

This week we headed to Weipa for our Indigenous Council Challenge! Thank you to Weipa Town Authority, NAPRANUM ABORIGINAL SHIRE COUNCIL, Northern Peninsula Area Regional Council and Kowanyama Aboriginal Shire Council for taking on the challenge.
