About the NGAA

NGAA is the peak body for local governments in Australia’s outer urban growth areas and advocates to state and federal governments on growth area challenges and opportunities. We are a nonpartisan, member-based alliance of Councils from across Australia. Together, we represent more than five million people living in Australia’s fast-growing outer urban areas and are united by shared experiences of population growth rates at double the national average and long-term under-investment in vital infrastructure. See the NGAA 2020 Policy Platform for more details about advocacy priorities.
