#localgov excited by the $1.8b boost for councils announced by Michael McCormack @MarkCoultonMP & pleased to be able to do even more to aid Covid-19 recovery efforts. #InThisTogether #onboard

537 councils, 6,500 democratically elected members and Australia’s third level of government relegated to 1 ticket to a COAG anniversary party is disgraceful and contrary to the nation’s economic and social recovery. #auspol

. PVO Not quite right PvO. National Cabinet = CoAG minus Local Government. A lost opportunity. Stool with 2 legs. Sooner or later communities will be dudded if this is not fixed. David O'Loughlin alga.asn.au/lack-of-local-…

Beautiful day in the Adelaide Hills!

A much-needed boost to improving resource recovery processes and creating on-shore jobs. David O'Loughlin parses the new $190m Recycling Modernisation Fund and LG's role in simulating further recycling investment bit.ly/2DvM2nb

Discussing the importance of regionalisation as well as local governments to Australia’s economic recovery post-pandemic with ALGA today. Great to chat with David O'Loughlin about the bright future of our regions. #RegionsMatter

Terrific to meet with Deputy PM today about a raft of funding announcements totalling nearly $400m to boost regional jobs, road safety, freight productivity, communication networks and skills development. It’s nice when months (years) of lobbying pays off! #RegionsMatter

Councils have boots on the ground ready to help, and a firm focus on the future, particularly in the regions. Great to discuss our shared vision for regional growth and prosperity with the DPM today.

Well, someone has to start the process.... Why not us? #treaty #truthtelling #UluruStatement #Kaurna

Go Roosters!!!

Another win for heritage! AG and Planning Minister @VickieChapmanMP confirms Contributory Items in council development plans will be transferred into the new planning code. This ends the fear of the greatest heritage delisting process ever proposed in SA. #LGAAGM2020

Only local governments have public spaces in every corner of the nation. We’re calling on Not ScoMo to extend an invite to local government to sit on National Cabinet, and let us support the important work to recover from COVID.

Happy Mother’s Day! She’s only 60 too! And I always believe my mum❤️❤️❤️

$1.499m grant to add to council’s $2.5m to rebuild Broadview Footy Club as a combined Community Hub - awesome!

Jack Buckskin up early to help kick off the new overpass. I reckon it was first promised before he was born!

Tonight 7.30pm discussing heritage listing our modernist churches with Peter Goers on ABC Adelaide (St David’s Burnside on the cover of our latest magazine)

Thanks for everything David O'Loughlin for your magnificent Presidency of ALGA
