De-amalgamation Implementation and Financial Sustainability Plan

In June 2022 Council unanimously resolved to pursue a de-amalgamation of Snowy Valleys Council into the two former Councils of Tumut and Tumbarumba.

Later, Council appointed the University of Newcastle's Institute of Regional Futures led by Professor Joseph Drew to prepare a Business Case 'Snowy Valleys Council - Evidence regarding the Advantages and Disadvantages of De-amalgamation'. This was endorsed by Council at the June 2023 meeting and forwarded to the Minister for Local Government, the Hon. Ron Hoenig MP on 15 September 2023. The Minister then referred Council's Business Case to the Local Government Boundaries Commission for examination.

This De-amalgamation Implementation Plan (DPI) provides a detailed Plan to separate Snowy Valleys Council into the former Tumut Council and Tumbarumba Council. The Financial Sustainability Plan (FSP) included in the DIP outlines the actions required of Snowy Valleys Councillors (and potentially the elected members of the two new councils) to establish two new financially sustainable councils.
