    Increasingly, the challenge for local government in managing tourism is not in preparing plans and policies or undertaking new initiatives but in collaborating across internal organisational silos and across artifi cial administrative boundaries to provide a more integrated approach. The Managing Local Government Master Class was a programme designed to develop a ' joined-up ' integrated approach to local government tourism management. This article outlines the Master Class approach within the increasingly complex context facing Australian local governments, and discusses two applications in Northern Rivers, NSW and Perth ' s Eastern Metropolitan Region.
