Council Boundary Change Proposal - Rostrevor, Woodforde and Hamilton Hill

Community Engagement surrounding the Campbelltown Boundary Change proposal has now closed. BDO Australia are investigating the proposal on behalf of the South Australian Local Government Boundary Change Commission. This proposal seeks to transfer approximately 738 properties in Rostrevor and Woodforde from Adelaide Hills Council to Campbelltown City Council.

Project background

The Adelaide Hills Council is opposed to the proposal by the Campbelltown City Council to move the boundary between our Councils. The boundary change proposal, which was first submitted by Campbelltown City Council in 2019, is now being formally considered by the Local Government Boundaries Commission of SA (LGBC).

Campbelltown proposes moving the council boundary eastwards so they can take the parts of Rostrevor and Woodforde that are currently in the Adelaide Hills Council. The proposal directly affects 738 properties in the Adelaide Hills.

The LGBC is an independent statutory body established by the State Government to assess boundary change proposals. An Inquiry by the LGBC is currently underway and consultants from BDO Australia have been appointed as investigators to review the proposal. No decisions have been made yet about whether the proposed boundary change should proceed.

Adelaide Hills Council believes the proposed boundary change is divisive, expensive, and unnecessary. Our position is that Campbelltown’s proposal is based on unsubstantiated claims and false assumptions about Adelaide Hills Council’s relationship with the residents of the subject areas and the services we provide to our community.

On this page you will find further background information about the proposal, the outcomes of community consultation conducted by Adelaide Hills Council, and evidence-based submission outlining twelve reasons why we are opposed to the boundary change.
