Dungog should be split up between adjoining councils, taking into account community commonality within those neighbouring councils and clear defining boundaries like rivers etc.
I have mentioned before that Gresford indicated in a poll a number of years ago that they would prefer to merge with Singleton Council, the other neighbouring councils such as Maitland, Port Stephens and Great Lakes should be prepared to make boundary changes in the best interests of Dungog Shire people.
