Expressions of Interest for the De-amalgamation Steering Committee Closes
Council invites applications from community members interested in playing an active role in overseeing the implementation of the De-amalgamation Implementation Plan (DIP) by serving on a Section 355 De-amalgamation Steering Committee.
We are seeking to appoint three (3) community representatives from both the northern and southern areas of the Snowy Valleys region to join the Committee, alongside the Elected Councillors and Council Executive staff (non-voting), in contributing to this important project.
Applications close 5pm Thursday 18 June 2026.
SVC Brand Retention Survey Closes
Thanks to everyone who took our SVC brand survey. The results and feedback will be presented to the July 2026 ordinary council meeting.
Retaining the existing SVC branding for one of the new councils could reduce de-amalgamation costs associated with a full rebrand, including savings on:
- Council signage
- Vehicle decals and uniforms
- Stationery and forms
- Website redevelopment
- Marketing and communication materials
- Re-drafting of leases, licences, policies etc
- Other operational branding changes
However, creating two new council brands could be an important investment in establishing clear, independent identities for each council from the start.
A new brand could also allow each council to reflect better its own history, character, priorities and future vision, which may strengthen community connection and trust over the long term.
