The LGTAP oversees the governance and operations of the Special Local Roads Program (SLRP), a program that has been in place in South Australia since 1985. Managed by the LGA, the SLRP provides funding to South Australian councils for the construction and maintenance of strategic and significant local roads, through an annual competitive grant round.

The LGTAP’s role is to consider applications for SLRP funding and make recommendations to the LGA Board of Directors, which flow to the South Australian Local Government Grants Commission for endorsement and relevant State and Federal ministers for approval.
