The purpose of the NGA is to call national attention to local government issues and to foster collaboration between the Australian government and the country's 537 local councils.
Cr Webb also confirmed he'll be looking to meet with the federal Minister for the Environment and Water, Tanya Plibersek, as well as the federal Minister for Regional Development, Local Government, and Territories, Kristy McBain.
In March, Tamworth council authorised motions to be submitted to the 2023 NGA relating to water security, financial assistance for roads, infrastructure grants for local government entities, and recognising contributions made by volunteers across Australia, but only three will now be presented.
