Talk:Local government areas of New South Wales

message: My understanding was that Lord Howe Island was also a local government authority (governed by an Island Board) which receives grants and funding from the State Government in the same way as any other Council in New South Wales.  Surely this should be included in the list. Skinsmoke 00:21, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Lord Howe Island is a weird case. It is one of the two unincorporated areas of NSW (the other one being the Unincorporated Far West). The fact that there is a council doesn't make it a LGA. There are also two councils in the Unincorporated Far West, one each for the towns of Silverton and Tibooburra. Those are also not LGA's, but so-to-say local councils on the sub-LGA level. Nevertheless, a complete list covering the entire state of NSW should not only include its LGAs but also its two unincorporated areas.--Ratzer (talk) 19:24, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Lord Howe Island

message: I have created an additional page for Berrigan Shire and taken the information and info box that was in the Berrigan town page.  Two points:
*In this instance Berrigan town is only one of four major localities in the Berrigan Shire and therefore including Shire-wide infomation on that page is potentially misleading (note: I had to revert an edit that substituted the town population for the shire population in the shire info box).
*Is there a policy or standard that covers separate pages for towns and shires of the same name (or cities (municipal) and cities (urban areas); i.e. Melbourne & City of Melbourne)?

replies: text: I have moved Berrigan Shire to Berrigan Shire Council, anticipating that Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Australian places will agree that these articles be named after their official names (in NSW on the basis of names recognised by the New South Wales Department of Local Government)--Grahamec 08:08, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Shires and towns with the same name

message: The article makes no reference to other bodies covered by the NSW Local Government Act such as County Councils and Water authorities such as Rous Water.  I would like to add something but material is thin on the ground.  Any assistance would be appreciated.  Cheers, Mattinbgn\ talk 07:07, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Cumberland and Northumberland (Sydney and Newcastle) had county councils from 1945 and 1948 until 1963.  There are other "county" councils listed at , its strange because they are for regions not actual counties, except for Rous. They have some of the other county councils listed at State Records NSW if you search the Agency Title field for "county council" (without the quotes) --Astrokey44 09:01, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

message: To group the list of LGAs by starting letter does not provide any additional information. Much more useful would be a grouping by LGA region. This would be true information that I cannot conclude from the name of an LGA.--Ratzer (talk) 19:24, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Dumb list of LGAs by starting letter

message: I know it's been there for over ten years, but the text of the lead section is grating. The recent edit that made two paragraphs helped by actually providing a definition in the first paragraph, but the second one is still poor reading. The text of the second paragraph is currently  I would like to propose that it be changed to something like  If required, the restructuring information could be included further down in the Reviews or Former LGA sections. I open this proposal for comment before just doing it, as I don't know what sensitivities are involved. --Scott Davis Talk 14:20, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  2016 Census update of population tables 

message: Some of the tables have a "Council Seat" column but there is no explanation of that term.
I suspect that it might be the location where council meetings are usually held or where the main office is.

thread_title:  Meaning of Council Seat 

message: The opening sentence is "This is a list of local government areas (LGAs) in New South Wales, sorted by region" but 
(a)  "region" is not defined;
(b)  the list is currently sorted by a column labelled "Local Government Area", and
(c)  the list can be sorted by several other columns.
