(1)
recognises that local government is part of the governance of Australia, serving communities through locally elected councils;
(2)
values the rich diversity of councils around Australia, reflecting the varied communities they serve;
(3)
acknowledges the role of local government in governance, advocacy, the provision of infrastructure, service delivery, planning, community development and regulation;
(4)
acknowledges the importance of cooperating with and consulting with local government on the priorities of their local communities;
(5)
acknowledges the significant Australian Government funding that is provided to local government to spend on locally determined priorities, such as roads and other local government services; and
(6)
commends local government elected officials who give their time to serve their communities.

upon which Mr Albanese moved by way of amendment:

That paragraph (1) be omitted and the following paragraph substituted:

“(1) supports a referendum to extend constitutional recognition to local government in recognition of the essential role it plays in the governance of Australia.”.
