In the initial proposal, the City of Maitland was not included in any amalgam[2] ation proposals. However, following the lodging of an alternate proposal by Mid-Coast Council Council to amalgamate the Gloucester, Great Lakes and Greater Taree councils, the NSW Minister for Local Government proposed a merger between the Dungog Shire with the City of Maitland.[3] In February 2017, the NSW Government announced that it will not proceed with the proposed amalgamation.[4]
