Council history[]

Wollondilly Shire was constituted by proclamation in the NSW Government Gazette on 7 March 1906, following the passing of the Local Government (Shires) Act 1905 (Shire No. 122 of 134), and included a wide area bounded by the local government areas of Camden, Campbelltown and and Nepean Shire.[4] A temporary council of five members was appointed on 16 May 1906, which comprised: Richard Henry Antill of Jarvisfield, Picton, Thomas Donohue of Burragorang, George Frederick Litchfield of Yerranderie, George Macarthur-Onslow of Camden Park, Menangle, and John Simpson of Macquarie Dale, Appin.[5] The Council first met on 15 June 1906, electing Macarthur-Onslow as Chairman of the Temporary Council and C. A. Thompson as secretary and shire clerk.[6][7][8] A. P. Minton, was later appointed Shire Clerk in June 1907.[9]

The first elections for the Council were held on 24 November 1906 for six Councillors in three ridings of two councillors each: A Riding, B Riding and C Riding:[10]

B Riding James Oswald Moore Shire President 1908–1909
George Frederick Litchfield Temporary Councillor
C Riding John Simpson Temporary Councillor
George Macarthur-Onslow Chairman 1906, Shire President 1906–1907

The final meeting of the Temporary Council and the first meeting of the elected Council was held on 3 December 1906 at The Oaks, at which the Chairmain of the Temporary Council, George Macarthur-Onslow was elected at the first Shire President of Wollondilly.[11] However on 11 January 1907, Macarthur-Onslow resigned as President, citing the distance between the shire offices and his home at Camden Park, and John E. Moore was elected Shire President in his place.[12][13] On 13 February 1908, James O. Moore was elected as Shire President, and re-elected to a second term in February 1909.[14][15] Following the resignation of James O. Moore in June 1909, Alfred Leonard Bennett was elected Shire President of the on 8 June 1909.[16][17]

On 31 May 1911 part of the Blue Mountains Shire was transferred to the Wollondilly Shire and part of Wollondilly Shire was transferred to the Nepean Shire from 21 March 1940.[18][19][20]

Amalgamation with Picton[]

When created in 1906, Wollondilly did not include the township of Picton, which had already been incorporated as the on 15 March 1895.[21] The Borough of Picton became the Municipality of Picton on 31 December 1906 with the passing of the Local Government Extension Act, 1906.[22]

The Picton Municipal Council held a voluntary poll in 1 April 1939, at the request of residents, on the question of the union of the Picton Municipality and the Wollondilly Shire.[23] The poll was resolved in the affirmative, with 197 for and 178 against.[24] The proposal for a "Picton Shire" was subsequently gazetted on 25 August 1939 and on 20 November 1939 the Department of Works and Local Government held an inquiry in Picton on the various issues relating to amalgamation.[25][26]

From 1 May 1940 the Municipality of Picton was amalgamated into Wollondilly Shire and the Shire Council was then expanded to consist of eight councillors representing four ridings. The first Provisional Council comprised: George John Adams and Edgar Henry Kirk Downes for A Riding; Eric Moore and Septimus Ernest Prosser for B Riding; James Thomas Carroll and Edward Wonson for C Riding’ and John Bradburn Cartwright and Roy Carrington Pearce for D Riding.[27] The Council seat was subsequently moved from The Oaks to Picton.[28]
