Parliamentary Inquiry into Tackling Climate Change in Victorian Communities
NAGA made a submission and spoke at this parliamentary inquiry in 2019. Due to strong advocacy for the role and needs of local government by all Victorian Greenhouse Alliances, the inquiry recognised the role of councils, and a key recommendation was to provide support for local government to strengthen Greenhouse Alliances.

Electricity distribution price review
In 2015, NAGA worked with the Eastern Alliance for Greenhouse Action (EAGA) to analyse the proposals for investment in infrastructure put forward by electricity distributors for the following five years. This process is run through the Australian Energy Regulator, which sets prices for distributor operations and investments that impact council budgets, most notably street lighting. This submission to the price review led directly to a $7.5 million saving for NAGA councils on street lighting operation and maintenance costs.
In 2020 and 2021, NAGA worked with other Victorian Greenhouse Alliances to once again analyse the proposals for investment for 2021-26.
