Local government area boundaries

Areas and wards

The number of electors enrolled in council areas varies from less than 1,000 to more than 250,000.

Councils may be either:

  • undivided – where the whole council electorate elects all the councillors for the council

  • divided into wards – where each ward electorate elects an equal number of councillors to make up the whole council.

There are 128 councils in New South Wales.
