Background Information
THE REGION AND ORGANISATION
Rarely does an opportunity arise to work within a new Executive Team to rebuild an
organisation and restore its connection to its community. This role at Wingecarribee Shire
Council provides such an opportunity – to work with a highly respected, newly appointed
General Manager and with newly appointed Directors to re-establish the Council as an
innovative, responsive and community focused organisation and to deliver innovative and
inspiring leadership.
Wingecarribee Shire is located 75 kilometres from the south-western fringe of Sydney and
110 kilometres from Sydney’s central business district. The Shire has a total area of
approximately 2,700 square kilometres, 56 per cent of which is north of the Wingecarribee
River.
It is comparable in size to that of urban Sydney, averaging 55 kilometres from east to west
and 45 kilometres from north
to south, with its geographic
centre north-west of Berrima
and its demographic centre
to the south-east of Bowral.
Much of the Shire is located
at or above 640 metres
above sea level.
The Wollondilly and
Wingecarribee Rivers flow
through the west of the Shire,
through deep sandstone
valleys and much of this area
forms part of the catchment
for Warragamba Dam. The
South of the Shire is bounded
by Uringalla Creek and
includes the villages of
Bundanoon, Wingello and
Penrose. This area is a
sandstone plateau dissected
by deep gorges.

Director Corporate Strategy and Resourcing
This Shire is an important catchment area for water supply to Sydney, Wollongong and the
Northern Shoalhaven.
The main towns are:
• Bowral
• Moss Vale
• Mittagong
• Bundanoon
As well, there are smaller villages
including Hill Top, Yerrinbool, Colo Vale,
Robertson, Berrima, New Berrima, Exeter,
Burrawang, Penrose, Willow Vale, Alpine,
Balaclava, Renwick, Wingello, Sutton
Forest, Avoca, Fitzroy Falls and Balmoral
Village.
The pattern of development is one of small towns and villages, separated by a semi-rural
landscape. Eastern parts of the Shire, known as the ‘Yarrawa Brush’ by early settlers, are
bounded by the Illawarra Escarpment and Morton National Park.
The north of the Shire is characterised by rugged Eucalypt bushland. This area forms part of
the catchment for Sydney's water supply and three major storage dams (Avon, Nepean
and Cordeaux).
The current Wingecarribee Shire Council
came into being on 1 January 1981 following
the amalgamation of Mittagong Shire
Council, Bowral Municipal Council and the
former Wingecarribee Shire Council. Moss
Vale was chosen as headquarters, mainly
because it had the most appropriate Civic
building to house the larger council.
The name of Wingecarribee was retained
principally because the Wingecarribee River
was the one significant geographical feature
common to all three areas.
Wingecarribee is said to mean “a flight of birds”, or “waters to rest beside”. The Oxley family
spelt it Wingecarribbee and Macquarie recorded it in 1816 as Winge Karribee. The current
spelling was adopted by Surveyor Mitchell in 1838.
Although Council has faced significant challenges over the last few years, a new General
Manager, a commitment to strong ethical leadership and a focus on Council’s customers
and the community are driving significant change. Council is now seeking to appoint a
new Executive Team with deep leadership capabilities to mobilise, create and innovate
and to foster an agile, diverse and responsive organisation where people are encouraged
to be accountable, find solutions and share ideas.
