This strategic plan aims to build and strengthen governance and leadership skills among current and future Victorian local government councillors.

Over these four years, the VLGA will focus on four key areas:

1. Building councillor expertise and capability;  
2. Shaping and sharing good governance strategy and practice; 
3. Partnering for impact by working in coalition to educate and inform; and  
4. Supporting councils, councillors and communities to address the challenges to good governance.

The VLGA's vision for local government is to support a diverse and growing network of community leaders elected to local government who are more connected, informed and capable of providing good governance for the communities they serve.
