Our Group Training team are thrilled to be attending the 2023 MAV Annual Conference & Dinner, Thursday 12 October in Melbourne.

Taking place on the traditional land of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nation, the conference will include presentations from keynote speakers and thought leaders on topics of significant importance to the Victorian local government sector including:

• How councils can partner and engage with Traditional Owners and local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
• Challenges and opportunities surrounding the financial sustainability of local government.
• How communities can rebuild following natural disasters.
• Sustainable planning to create better ways to live, work, and move around.
• How we can use evidence, co-design, and data in place to address child health and developmental inequities.
• Why in times of great uncertainty, the most crucial leadership quality is courageous, intelligent optimism.
