Pristine Waters Council

Pristine Waters Council (sometimes referred to as Pristine Waters Shire) was a short-lived local government area in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Australia.

[4][5] After just four years, Pristine Waters amalgamated with Grafton, Copmanhurst and Maclean to form Clarence Valley Council on 24 February 2004.

[6] Prior to the amalgamation, Pristine Waters was scheduled to have an election on 27 March 2004, although only one candidate had nominated with the New South Wales Electoral Commission as of 24 February (the same day as the abolition).

[7] The last-minute abolition prevented incumbent councillor Olive Boundy from contesting the election in Coffs Harbour.

[8][9] Pristine Waters was an undivided council composed of nine councillors, with 10,676 people in the LGA were eligible to vote.
