SVC Brand Retention Survey Closes
Thanks to everyone who took our SVC brand survey. The results and feedback were presented to Councillors at an Extraordinary Meeing on 2 July 2026.
The results of the brand survey supported retaining the current Snowy Valleys Council (SVC) brand.
Council has voted to retain its use and apply it to the new northern Council (formerly the Tumut Shire Council area) upon proclamation.
As a result, the De-amalgamation Project budget will be adjusted to reflect savings achieved through the retention of the existing SVC brand, avoiding the need for a full rebrand.
Community consultation will next be undertaken to determine the preferred naming convention for the new Southern Council. This consultation is expected to commence following the establishment of the De-amalgamation Community Panel, anticipated in August 2026.
