Talk:Southern Tablelands

Greater Argyle was short-lived
Dept of Local Govt website has still not completely caught up with the change of name. Map shows "Greater Argyle" but text with it is headed "Goulburn Mulwaree". After checking half a dozen websites suggested by Google for Greater Argyle, I tried Mulwaree and got a coherent and largely convincing story from the Southern Tablelands Regional Library - http://strlhistorymatters.blogspot.com/2008/01/mulwaree-shire.html: "Mulwaree Shire was amalgamated with the City of Goulburn in 2004. The new local government area formed was initially named Greater Argyle Council. The decision to rename this Council area as Goulburn Mulwaree occurred in 2005". Why I say "largely convincing" is because it seems some of the shire went somewhere else; this quote from a council planning document: The Greater Argyle Council which now administers part of the former Shire Area has acknowledged also as its current (15 June 2004) policy on Rural Settlement pattern the "Mulwaree Shire Council, Settlement Strategy, November 2003".
