The off-again, on-again State Government amalgamation process is well and truly ON-AGAIN.

The Premier has announced that pending amalgamations in the Sydney area will proceed (subject to the outcomes of court challenges).

It is proposed to amalgamate Willoughby with North Sydney and Mosman Councils. Both have launched court appeals. So until these are determined the matter stays open.

Given that the probabilities lie in that we will be amalgamated, we need to start now working so that the Willoughby we cherish does not wilt or perish.

Please consider joining your local Progress Association or other local bodies that have similar interests (such as the Willoughby District Historical Society).
