'''Tumbarumba Shire'''
A [[Local government areas of New South Wales#Reviews of local government areas|2015 review of local government boundaries]] recommended that the Tumbarumba Shire merge with the [[Tumut Shire]] to form a new council. This recommendation was not supported by any of the preceding IPART and Tcorp assessments, which recommended a merger between Tumut and [[Gundagai Shire|Gundagai]] shires instead. When the NSW Government released their proposal in December 2015, the Government's website stated that the proposal was 'broadly consistent with Tumut Council's stated preference'.{{citation needed|date=May 2016}} Tumut Council submitted its preferences during a consultation period following the IPART's 'Fit for the Future' report, in October 2015 after it was found 'Not Fit'. Tumbarumba Shire Council did not elect any merger partners as part of this process, with the finding it was 'Fit' as a 'Rural Council'.{{citation needed|date=May 2016}}
The [[mayor]] of Tumbarumba Shire is [[Councillor|Cr.]] Ian Chaffey, an [[Independent (politician)|independent]] politician.<ref name=mayor/>▼
As a result, many residents of Tumbarumba Shire viewed{{opinion|date=May 2016}} Tumut Shire Council's choice to nominate a merger of the Gundagai, Tumbarumba, and Tumut shires as the catalyst behind the NSW Government proposal to merge the Tumbarumba Shire with Tumut Shire, (which was never one of Tumut Shire Council's stated preference).{{opinion|date=May 2016}} The resulting opposition by the residents of Tumbarumba Shire was almost{{opinion|date=May 2016}} unanimous, with a publicly convened 'Save Tumbarumba Shire' committee executing an active grass roots, public campaign.{{citation needed|date=May 2016}}
The NSW Government proposal would see a combined Shire with an area of {{convert|8960|km2}} and support a population of approximately {{formatnum:14953}}.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://dpc-olg-ss.s3.amazonaws.com/29068acadf5d30bab9b9b3dd3b1cd6b5/Tumbarumba-Tumut.pdf |title=Merger proposal: Tumbarumba Shire Council, Tumut Shire Council |publisher=[[Government of New South Wales]] |date=January 2016 |access-date=10 March 2016 |page=7 }}</ref> On 12 May 2016, the NSW Government dissolved Tumbarumba Shire and along with Tumut Shire and merged the councils to form the [[Snowy Valleys Council]].<ref name=sc>{{cite web |url=https://www.strongercouncils.nsw.gov.au/new-councils/snowy-valleys-council/ |title=Snowy Valley Council |work=Stronger Councils |publisher=[[Government of New South Wales]] |date=12 May 2016 |access-date=13 May 2016 }}</ref>
