Port Stephens Council to review ambiguous boundaries with neighboring LGAs on July 9.

Port Stephens Council will review the ambiguous boundaries that separate it from other local government areas, like Newcastle, Maitland, Dungog, and the MidCoast, on July 9. These borders, mainly drawn around Jimmy's Beach and Raymond Terrace, follow the water's edge rather than dividing the LGAs centrally. Port Stephens Councillor Giacomo Arnott says that the current arrangement has resulted in councils relying on the goodwill of their neighbors for managing water body banks.
