After months of debate and controversy surrounding alleged policy breaches, Mayor Juliet Arkwright will lose the privilege to the mayoral vehicle and so will the shire's future mayor for this council's term.

In council's Extraordinary Meeting on June 11, it was decided the matter would be put on public exhibition and councillors would then decide what action, if any was to be taken.

Although no submissions were received from the public, Councillor Garry Turland put forward a motion in Wednesday night's Ordinary Meeting which proposed changes to the policy and that the mayoral vehicle be returned and sold.

Councillor Jim Clark seconded the motion but said councillors had to stick with the policy.

"Just don't let me hear that after the election we are going to introduce another motion to re-introduce the car because then you will hear me scream," Cr Clark said.

Councillors Graham McLaughlin, Duncan Gair and Garry Turland raised concerns about the size of car given to the mayor and its usage.

"The council and the past mayors going back since the start or Wingecarribee have always used their own car. We are a small community, we are a medium council and I think it has worked quite well in the past," Cr McLaughlin said.

"It was to be a small to medium sized car, it was to be cost effective and it was to be used by the mayor in her mayor service to this community.

"Unfortunately, that is not the type of vehicle that we got."

Cr Gair said although the introduction of a mayoral vehicle was his suggestion, he was "disappointed" it didn't work.

"I just thought we had reached the age of maturity where we could supply a car that would suit the office of the mayor for this shire," he said.

Councillor John Uliana said he was against the motion and proposed a foreshadowed motion seconded by Councillor Larry Whipper, which rejected the changes and retained the privilege of the mayoral vehicle.

"The only people who have made this an issue are some of the people around this table and I certainly believe that it is a very sad day for Wingecarribee," Cr Uliana said.

Mayor Juliet Arkwright said she did not believe the car should have been removed and the motion was "regrettable and very petty".

"It demonstrated disrespect to the office of the mayor," Cr Arkwright said.

"As I said before I have not committed any crime with the log books. Indeed i'm out of pocket $5,000 due to the flaws in the policy that was formulated by a council employee who is no longer with us."

"I believe the mayoral position should be supplied with a suitable vehicle just like all other shires within NSW. Hopefully with the next council, a future mayor (not including those on this council) be provided with what the position requires and should be accorded.

"The whole matter has been pathetic and the people of the shire deserve better."

Cr Turland's motion was passed with the support of Councillors Ian Scandrett, Gair, Campbell, Clark and McLaughlin.

The vehicle will be returned on September 17, 2014.
