It means there is no local council election for Wingecarribee Shire Council on December 4.
It was previously announced on September 1, 2021 that the Minister for Local Government, Ms Shelley Hancock had announced a public inquiry into Wingecarribee Shire Council.
At the time Ms Hancock said it followed a recommendation from the Wingecarribee Shire Council interim administrator Viv May to hold a public inquiry which would provide an independent, open and transparent process to help improve its performance.
"Wingecarribee Shire Council's performance is being seriously hampered by a range of financial, legal, cultural, structural, reputational and governance issues which are of great concern to the local community," she said.
Looks like there won't be a democracy sausage this year.
