The Merger Performance Report provides a summary of our performance in addressing the NSW Government’s aims for Council mergers since the formation of the Northern Beaches Council in May 2016.

The report was prepared to correspond with the end of the Council’s first term of office following the merger. The state government has since postponed elections until 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, as we are at the end of the initial four year term, we thought that now was the right time to reflect on our performance.

The report was presented to Council at the meeting on 28 July 2020 where it was resolved to make the report publicly available and invite comment from the community.
