Yesterday Councillors from across NSW said farewell to Councillor Linda Scott who has served both as the President of Local Government NSW and the Australian Local Government Association .
What has impressed me all these years about Linda is that as the head of Local Government, she looks after the interest of all councils regardless of their geography or political makeup. She has led advocacy and sometimes even fought with the State and Federal Governments on issues such as financial sustainability, skilling our workforce, and industry representation – and in some instances she has helped to trigger reforms that put the Local Government sector in a better position to serve our communities.
We will dearly miss Linda and wish her all the best with future endeavours. She of all people has earned a well deserved break to spend time with family.
