Boundary Changes

Campbelltown City Council has an active boundary change proposal in place to incorporate the Adelaide Hills Council part of Rostrevor along with part of neighbouring Woodforde into its boundaries. [11] This is despite an overwhelming 65% majority of residents and ratepayers opposing it in a survey conducted in 2019.[ citation needed ]
