What will the local government landscape look like in 2024 and who will be shaping it? LGMA has identified a number of officers we think will be the hidden Influencers of Queensland local government this year. While not the leaders of their organisations, these individuals have all made a commitment to shape the sector thorough their contribution, both within their roles and across the wider sector. We love that they are stepping up to foster their own development and to support colleagues across councils.
