Amalgamation
A 2015 review of local government boundaries by the NSW Government Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal recommended that the Conargo Shire merge with the Deniliquin Council to form a new council with an area of Script error: No such module "convert". and support a population of approximately 9,000.[2]
