Closing the Gap Assembly

ALGA and local government leaders were involved in the Closing the Gap Assembly in Canberra from 1-3 April.

The important national gathering attracted more than 150 people, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled representatives, key stakeholders and experts.

First Nations mayors, councillors and CEOs also attended the assembly – hosted by the Coalition of Peaks – to provide feedback and contribute to the independent Aboriginal-led review of the Closing the Gap Agreement.

Local government voices will be important in the review and shaping the next Closing the Gap Agreement.
