The NSW State Government has produced a preliminary roadmap for the demerger of Cootamundra-Gundagai Council.
The timeline for the implementation of the demerger sees the legal path being established after the March state elections due to the need for legislation to facilitate the process.
The current merged council would cease functioning in mid-2024, allowing the new councils to commence operations prior to the local government elections in September of that year.
A transition manager will be appointed later this year to oversee the demerger process.
