Report LGAQ LGAQ 120th Annual Conference The Local Government Association of Queensland Ltd 120th Annual Conference will be held from 18 to 20 October 2016 at the Gold Coast. This is the primary Local Government Conference for Queensland Councils and is attended by Lockyer Valley Regional Council as a Member Council. A report will be presented to a future meeting to confirm the delegates to represent Council at the LGAQ Annual Conference. Statutory Order of Review The LGAQ lodged an application for a Statutory Order of Review with the Supreme Court seeking a declaration that the variation notice and consolidated request issued by the Industrial relations Minister on 6 June is invalid. “This latest variation to the Minister’s request to the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission to again review the modern Local Government Industry Award follows an earlier Page 5 ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL AGENDA 10 AUGUST 2016 variation by the Minister but is pointedly prescriptive in directing the Commission on what outcomes the Commission’s “independent” review will produce. The LGAQ believes that the increasingly emboldened actions by the Minister to undermine the independence of the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission (QIRC) cannot go unchallenged. It is disingenuous for a Minister to give such prescriptive directions to the Commission as per the latest variation notice while the Government espouses the restoration of the QIRC’s independence. The LGAQ respects and supports the right of Queensland’s Parliament to establish a framework for industrial relations which includes an independent Industrial Relations Commission to prescribe fair and reasonable minimum employment conditions for local government employees. We acknowledge the practice of Queensland’s Parliament legislating minimum and basic employment conditions for all workers
