Wards and Electoral Boundaries

Our Local Government Area (LGA) is divided into three areas called ‘Wards’ and each ward has three Councillors to represent the people within these areas.

  • Greater Murray Ward
  • Greater Wakool Ward
  • Moama Ward

If you check your enrollment status with the Australian Electoral Commission, it will detail which ward you belong to.

 

Updated Ward Boundaries

A new ward boundary realignment was endorsed by Council on Tuesday 26 September 2023. The updated wards will come into place for the September 2024 local government elections.

Why did Council change the ward boundaries?

The NSW Local Government Act 1993 (the Act) requires councils to review ward boundaries to ensure that the difference in the number of electors across each ward does not exceed 10 per cent. The balance of the electors in each Ward was misaligned beyond these figures, and as such Council developed a proposal to address this.

The new wards shown on the map on this page, bring our three wards – Greater Murray (blue), Greater Wakool (green) and Moama (insert) – back within 10 per cent or less variance.
