REGIONAL LOCAL GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATIONS

In reply to the Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (7 April 2009).

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for State/Local Government Relations, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister Assisting the Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Energy): I am advised that:

1. Attendance by representatives of the Office for State/Local Government Relations at meetings of Regional Local Government Associations has not ceased. The Office has endeavoured to have a representative present at these meetings when possible.

2. The Office for State/Local Government Relations continues to be actively interested in the activities of Regional Local Government Associations and to keep informed of issues raised by the Associations. The Office recognises the important role of the Regional Associations in the local government sector. The Office will continue to communicate with the Regional Associations as appropriate on a range of matters.
