About Us

LGPro is the member association and leading voice for people working in Local Government in Victoria providing leadership, professional development, advocacy, and representation in the pursuit of excellence.

LGPro was formed in 1996/1997 following a merger of the Victorian branches of the Institute of Municipal Management, the Institute of Municipal Engineering Australia and the Victorian Municipal Community Services Association.

LGPro is the only membership organisation for people working in Victorian Local Government, with all profits being redirected to further developing the sector and its professionals. The independent, sector-specific organisation offers high quality, competitively priced professional development programs, networking events and conferences designed specifically for the Victorian context.

What we do


We actively support our members by:

  • Developing and delivering high quality, sector specific professional development activities and services
  • Facilitating positive communication with other levels of government and key stakeholders through a credible and independent voice
  • Providing Special Interest Groups for people to network, share best practice and learn about new developments
  • Celebrating excellence in the sector through a range of award programs.

Proceeds from our activities go back into the sector to provide programs, events and services to benefit our members and all people working in Local Government.
