What is LAPA?

In 1991, six local government property employees met together in Palmerston North to exchange ideas and work experience. News of that meeting spread, and so began an annual get-together of local government property employees. Numbers grew; corporate sponsorship was offered for what had become known as ‘The Annual Local Government Property Conference’.

The Local Authority Property Association (Inc) was ratified and established at the 2005 conference, appropriately in Palmerston North where it all began.

 The 2008 conference will be held in Wellington from the 8-10 October 2008.

Supporting Property Professionals

As LAPA, the Local Authority Property Association, we are committed to maintaining the core principles that have continued from those early days:

• To provide a forum for co-operation and information sharing for council property staff, nationally
• To provide a national perspective on Local Authority Property issues
• To foster the exchange and dissemination of information amongst members
• To establish liaison with appropriate organisations
• To promote and support conferences, seminars and educational opportunities for members
• To provide support to members.
