Share this article

We’re heading to Bendigo for the 2025 National Local Roads, Transport & Infrastructure Congress—two days focused on the policy, funding and delivery settings that shape local roads, transport and community infrastructure. Expect a program featuring federal and state representatives, industry leaders and innovative councils, with plenty of time to connect on the exhibition floor.

What Is The ALGA Congress

Hosted at The Capital in Bendigo, the Congress brings together the people planning, building and maintaining Australia’s local networks—sharing what’s working, where the gaps are, and what’s next for safer, better-connected communities. The program spans plenaries, breakouts and networking functions, including a welcome reception & exhibition opening and the Congress Dinner at Bendigo Town Hall.

Who It’s For

  • Local government leaders & elected members looking to influence national and state priorities

  • Directors & managers across infrastructure, transport, roads, community assets and capital works

  • Engineers, asset managers, engagement and comms teams, procurement and project leads delivering on the ground

  • Suppliers and partners working with councils to lift safety, sustainability and performance

Delegates are typically key influencers and decision makers within councils—making the Congress a high-value place to learn and build partnerships.
