 BOUNDARIES COMMISSION REPORT ON DEMERGER PROPOSAL

FOR SNOWY VALLEYS COUNCIL

I welcome the news today that the Boundaries Commission has completed its examination of the elector-initiated proposal to demerge Snowy Valleys Council.

It has taken a long time to get to this point, and it is important now to remove further uncertainty by having the findings released and the timely response of the Minister. As such, I have written today to the Minister for Local Government requesting that the Report be made available to the public.

I wish to acknowledge the work of the Commission, and importantly, to each member of the community who has contributed to this process.
