Parts of the Southern Highlands, the Southern Tablelands and Morton National Park lie within the Goulburn Mulwaree Council area.
Municipal history
The council was formed as the Greater Argyle Council in 2004 as an amalgamation of Goulburn City and parts of the former Mulwaree Shire. It was renamed in 2005 following objections from the community.
A 2015 review of local government boundaries recommended that the Goulburn Mulwaree Council merge with part of the Palerang Council to form a new council with an area of 4,748 square kilometres (1,833 sq mi) and support a population of approximately 31,000. The outcome of an independent review is expected to be completed by mid–2016.
