Tim Fraser, Executive Director Local Government, at DLGSC said David had demonstrated an outstanding commitment to governance local government.

“Since David started his local government career at the Shire of Murray in 2014, he has worked hard to ensure that the local government sector is equipped to serve its communities in the best way possible.
