Victoria's Management Challenge champions have taken third place in a ladder of over 100 councils at the 2025 Australasian Management Challenge finals in Perth.

Casey City Council's 'Agenda Setters' secured the bronze medal at this week's competition, up against the winners of every state, territory, and the New Zealand competition.

Following their earlier win in the Victorian trial-by-fire management experience sponsored by JLT Public Sector, the Agenda Setters told LGPro:

"We’re ready to step it up. The National Final will be even more competitive, so we’re focused on sharpening our approach, working smarter, reflecting on what we can improve, and doubling down on our strengths. We want to represent Victoria with the same energy and integrity that got us here."

That energy secured a podium finish and a learning experience to remember.

LGPro congratulates Casey City Council as well as Western Australian runner up Mandurah and Tasmania's Waratah-Wynyard in first place.

The Challenge is a simulation-based team building, learning, and networking program that puts local government officers into the shoes of senior management, taking on the kinds of issues that truly affect the sector. The yearly event tests participants' professional capability, teamwork, time management, problem-solving, creativity, strategic planning, and presentation skills.
