- Promote the efficient performance of local government in Queensland;
- Monitor and take action in relation to any legislation affecting Members;
- Advise and counsel Members in matters of doubt or difficulty; and
- Undertake and promote activities endorsed at Annual Conference, which are in the interest of local government in Queensland.
