VLGA Connect - TGU, 22nd September 2023

It was the week the government unveiled its new housing statement and reforms to the Victorian planning system. How has the local government sector responded? 

Chris Eddy and Tony Raunic look at the major changes and reactions so far.

Also this week, waste charges take the media spotlight, new data shows most council-run airports are running at a loss and need more government support, and Julie Reid reports from London on the challenges faced by the UK local government sector.
