==Proposed amalgamation==
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.
As a result, many residents of Tumbarumba Shire view Tumut Shire Council's choice to nominate a Gundagai/Tumbarumba/Tumut merger 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). The resulting opposition by the residents of Tumbarumba Shire has been almost unanimous, with a publicly convened 'Save Tumbarumba Shire' committee executing an active grass roots, public campaign.
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 |work= |publisher=[[Government of New South Wales]] |date=January 2016 |accessdate=10 March 2016 |author= |page=7 |isbn= }}</ref> The outcome of an independent review is expected to be completed by mid–2016.
