Project Background
Campbelltown City Council has put forward a Council Boundary Change Proposal to the Boundaries Commission (a State Government body that assesses and investigates council boundary change proposals and makes recommendations to the Minister) to review the boundary between Campbelltown City Council and Adelaide Hills Council.
Campbelltown City Council proposes moving the boundary eastwards so that the parts of Rostrevor and Woodforde that are currently in Adelaide Hills Council, move to the Campbelltown City Council area in their entirety. See map below.
Our Council’s response to the Campbelltown City Council proposal has always been to be guided by the opinions of those residents and ratepayers who would be affected directly by the proposed boundary change.
The results of a survey conducted in 2019 were compelling with almost two thirds of the survey respondents opposed to the proposal.
We therefore don’t believe it’s in the interests of our communities for Campbelltown City Council to commit significant resources in pursuing a boundary realignment that does not have the underlying support of the residents who live there.
The Boundaries Commission has decided to inquire into the proposal and an investigator has been appointed to assess the proposal and engage further with Council and the community.
