Council's Mission

To provide cost effective modern facilities and services which enhance the local environment for the community.

 

History

Tenterfield was declared a township when a notice appeared in the Government Gazette on 7th October, 1851, after a community had formed around Tenterfield Station Homestead.

 

Tenterfield Shire Council was formed on the 1st January, 1975, following one of the first voluntary amalgamations of Local Government authorities, between Tenterfield Municipal Council and Tenterfield Shire Council.

 

The unimproved capital value of the new Shire was made up of 87% from the former Shire and 13% from the former Municipality.

 

Today Council's administrative base is in Tenterfield and has works depots at Tenterfield, Urbenville and Legume.
