Local Government Association of South Australia

Local Government Association of South Australia The LGA is the peak representative body for local government in South Australia. We’re here to help local government build stronger communities.

Since 1896, our work has backed local decision-making and today supports councils across South Australia. We do this in many ways. For one, we lead advocacy and discussions with state and federal decision-makers and key stakeholders. We make sure the issues affecting our communities are heard, loud and clear. We also help local government be at the top of their game. We provide training and networ

king opportunities, secure funding for projects, and work hard to reduce risk and save members money. And community is at the heart of everything we do. Because we know if our local governments are thriving, then our communities are, too. Learn more about LGA South Australia and the ways you can work with us: www.lga.sa.gov.au.

Small changes at home are making a big difference in Burnside. 🌱

The council’s growing green bin trial is helping divert more waste from landfill, with residents strongly backing the initiative.

“It’s really rewarding to be part of an organisation that’s proactively thinking about ways to reduce the amount of waste we send to landfill.” – Julia Grant, CEO, City of Burnside

Have you visited Adelaide's newest public monument?

A bronze statue honouring Lowitja O'Donoghue has been unveiled at Tarntanya Wama, celebrating a lifetime of leadership, advocacy and service.

Created by South Australian artist Robert Hannaford, the statue recognises one of Australia's most influential Aboriginal leaders and her enduring contribution to health, human rights and reconciliation.

Jetties are an important part of the South Australian coast and communities.

We are calling for stronger state investment in jetty maintenance and renewal.

We are asking the state government to commit to:

👉 An 80/20 funding partnership, with the state government contributing 80 percent and local government 20 percent

👉 An increase in state jetty funding from $5 million to $10 million per year

A stronger funding partnership will help councils maintain safe and resilient jetties for communities and visitors.

Help protect our jetties. Add your name to the pledge today at: https://www.lga.sa.gov.au/about/what-we-do/advocacy/jetties

The 2026-27 State Budget has been handed down, with a strong focus on cost-of-living relief, major infrastructure investment, housing supply and affordability and health.

We've analysed the budget and what it means for South Australian councils and communities.

We look forward to continuing discussions with the State Government on the priorities that matter most to our communities.

South Australians love their jetties. They support tourism, provide safe access to the water and create places where communities gather.

Many jetties are ageing and expensive to maintain. Without stronger investment, some may fall into disrepair or close.

We are calling for increased state government funding to protect South Australian jetties and keep them safe and open for communities.

Help protect our jetties. Add your name to the pledge today.
