Australia’s Capital City Lord Mayors are accelerating their push for a closer working relationship with the Commonwealth. They have travelled to Canberra to speak to federal representatives, including Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and the new Minister for Cities and the Built Environment, Jamie Briggs about how the Australian Government and cities can work together to benefit the nation.

Current Council of Capital City Lord Mayors (CCCLM) Chair, Adelaide Lord Mayor Martin Haese recognised the priority that both the government and opposition have placed on cities as major drivers of the Australian economy.

A new website – Cities Matter, makes the case for investment in city economies, infrastructure and climate change resilience.
