    New Membership Structure Starts Today 

    From 1 January 2026, LGAPA will introduce a tiered membership model based on council size. Each council will pay a single annual fee that covers all Authorised Officers and Regulatory Staff, including administrative or support staff involved in compliance and enforcement roles.

    Individual membership will still be available for those not covered under a council-wide membership or who wish to maintain a personal membership. Individual members will continue to receive full benefits under the new structure.

    This new approach is designed to:

    • Increase inclusivity and access across all Local Government areas
    • Simplify membership administration and renewals
    • Align membership with LGAPA’s annual training calendar - Check out the latest offerings Training and Events
    • Provide greater value and representation for enforcement and regulatory teams
