Local Government Economic Development Network

The Local Government Economic Development Network is an emerging initiative that is working to build a community of economic development practitioners.  At the end of 2019 there were 64 people in the network, each with different roles in their organisations, each at different stages of their careers but all united by their need to deliver economic development outcomes for their community.
