The Municipal Association of Victoria
The Municipal Association of Victoria (MAV) is the peak representative body for local
government in Victoria. The MAV has a legislated responsibility to represent the interests of
councils through policy formulation, advocacy work and insurance services.

Formed in 1879 and incorporated by an act of Victorian Parliament in 1907, the MAV today
enjoys the support of Victorian councils, who are our financial members.

Determined to increase the capability and effectiveness of the sector, we conduct a wide
range of activities. These include lobbying, campaign and issues management,
procurement, research, councillor and professional development, event management and
more.

The MAV has been long-recognised as an influential and respected representative body by
both local and state government.

The MAV Annual Conference and Dinner explores prominent local government issues
and future challenges facing the sector, as well as providing an understanding of emerging
services and capabilities to assist and improve councils.

With an audience comprised of councillors, mayors, CEOs and senior management from
Victorian local councils, over 150 delegates are expected to attend the single day
conference program, while over 250 are expected to attend the gala dinner.

This leading local government conference represents an outstanding opportunity to
promote commercial products and services demanded by a sector with an annual
expenditure of over $8 billion.

The conference will provide one-of-kind opportunities for sponsors and exhibitors to
showcase their capabilities in product and service provision and engage with senior decision
makers within the Victorian local government sector.

About local government
In Victoria, local government is made up of 79 councils representing over 5.5 million people.
Councils are area-based, representative governments with a legislative and electoral
mandate to manage local issues and plan for the community's needs.
Local government is recognised in the Victorian Constitution 1975 as a:
     ‘distinct and essential tier of government consisting of democratically elected councils
     having the functions and powers that the Parliament considers are necessary to ensure
     peace, order and good government of each municipal district’.
Councils operate within a legislative framework established by the Victorian Parliament
through the Local Government Act 1989, which specifies local government powers, duties,
roles, responsibilities and functions.
