Cabonne awaiting legal advice on next step in merger fight

Cabonne Council will await further legal advice before determining the next step in its fight against a merger with Orange and Blayney after an appeal by Woollahra Council was dismissed today.

Cabonne had been waiting for a judgment on the Woollahra appeal which it believed could have a critical bearing on Cabonne’s situation.

Mayor Ian Gosper said Cabonne’s legal team was examining the judgment handed down in the NSW Supreme Court of Appeal this afternoon and the Council would consider further advice from its lawyers tomorrow before taking any further action.
