About LGPA

This strategic plan is a bold vision to rejuvenate the LGPA and confirm its role as the principal planning association for local government planners in WA.

In essence, the strategic plan seeks to:

• build and maintain a credible professional profile;
• build membership, including services delivered to members;
• maintain regular, relevant education opportunities; and
• maintain fellowship opportunities.

LGPA’s Constitution 2024 (as amended) guides LGPA with six overarching key constitutional objectives.

These objectives include;

• Represent the views and interests of the profession
• Encourage training and education
• Arbitration and advice for Local Government planners
• Promote development and enhancement of the profession
• Support full cooperation with PIA and interstate LGPAs
• Provide recreation and social interaction for Planners
