The Minister for Local Government has approved the demerger of CGRC subject to Council undertaking all planning for, and bearing all costs of, the demerger. It is currently planned for the new Councils to begin on 1 July 2027.
The communities and all Councillors strongly support the demerger. Nevertheless, it is possible that a dispute may arise as Council develops its plans.

Council seeks the services of suitably qualified persons to take on these unique roles to provide independent resolution of any matter referred to the panel.
Suitably qualified individuals are invited to submit an Expression of Interest by providing a letter outlining their qualifications and relevant experience together with a current résumé.
