Attending the Roundtable were representatives of Councils, regional organisations, local government associations, professional associations, federal government departments, and academic researchers and scientists.

The Roundtable was convened with the following aims:

• Build a common understanding amongst leading local government researchers about ‘where councils are at’ in terms of both adaptation and mitigation
• Explore gaps in research and policy support available to the local government sector -  especially smaller councils
• Identify specific actions that can be taken by the ACELG and NCAARF networks and partners.
