Symphony3 is delighted to announce that we have extended our partnership with the Local Government News Roundup, Australia's number one podcast dedicated to news from and about councils.
In 2025, the Local Government News Roundup partnered with Symphony3, a leading provider of technological solutions to the local government sector.
The Local Government News Roundup has built a dedicated following since its inception in 2021, with an audience that continues to grow across Australia and beyond. The podcast features interviews with sector leaders and decision makers, providing valuable insights for professionals working in and around local government. Symphony3 has partnered with Chris and the team since early 2025.

Last year, the Roundup was listened to in 66 countries and 456 cities around the world, passing a milestone of more than 100,000 downloads. The podcast is produced and presented by Chris Eddy, a 40-year veteran of media and local government.
"I am thrilled to have Symphony3 continuing as a sponsor of the podcast into 2026," said Chris Eddy, host and producer of the Local Government News Roundup. "We have a shared passion for connecting and informing the people who work in and around the sector, and helping promote and foster innovation and efficiency in their service to local communities."
"The Local Government News Roundup has established itself as an essential resource for council professionals across Australia and increasingly internationally," said Thomas Hynes, CEO of Symphony3. "This partnership reflects our commitment to supporting the local government community and sharing knowledge that helps councils deliver better outcomes for their communities. Chris has built something special and we're proud to be part of it, and look forward to staying involved as the podcast grows in reach in and influence."
