What’s new or changing

• Mayors, councillors and general managers are encouraged to visit the OLG trade exhibition display (stalls 21 and 22), to speak with OLG staff or ask any questions about OLG programs and initiatives.
• Information will be available on a range of topics such as joint organisations, the model code of conduct, model code of meeting practice, and NSW rock fishing legislation.

What this will mean for your council

• This is a good opportunity for delegates to obtain information about OLG initiatives and programs first hand or to discuss issues or concerns with OLG directly.

Key points
