Committee to discuss regional migration with local government peak body

THE Joint Standing Committee on Migration is holding a public hearing for its inquiry into migration in regional Australia on November 27.

The committee will hear from the Australian Local Government Association, to discuss local governments’ perspectives on the factors that support successful regional migration and settlement.

“Following the committee’s first regional hearings in Murray Bridge and Mount Gambier, this presents and excellent opportunity to follow up on the issues raised with the national local government peak body,” said Julian Leeser MP, committee chair.

“The committee heard from migrants, volunteers, and local government on the specific issues in two communities in South Australia, and this hearing will provide a chance to examine regional migration and settlement from a national perspective.”
