The deadline for Fit for the Future proposals for all NSW councils was June 30 and now 144 submissions are available to access on the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal's (IPART) website.
Under the Fit for the Future reforms, councils across the state had to meet several 'fitness' criteria relating to scale, capacity and financial health.
In a review undertaken by the NSW Independent Local Government Review Panel, Wingecarribee was categorised as sustainable in its current form and not recommended for amalgamation.
IPART will now perform the role of the expert advisory panel to assess how all of the proposals meet the Fit for the Future criteria.
As part of the assessment process, ratepayers and other stakeholders are invited to share their views with IPART.
IPART will make its recommendation on all Fit for the Future submissions in October with the Minister for Local Government expected to make an announcement shortly after.
Residents have until Friday, July to make comment via IPART's website.
The link also provides a fact sheet explaining the Fit for the Future process.
