Municipality of Cessnock

The Municipality of Cessnock was a local government area in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia.

Key Information

Cessnock was proclaimed on 1 November 1926 after being excised from Cessnock Shire.[1][2]

It amalgamated with Kearsley Shire (which had been renamed from Cessnock Shire) to form the Municipality of Greater Cessnock on 1 January 1957.[3]

Council

[edit]

The municipality was governed by Cessnock Municipal Council, which was composed of nine elected councillors.[4] At the 1941 local elections, the Progressive Municipal Labor Party won a majority. However, the party lost all its seats at the following election in 1944, while the Communist Party won two seats of its own.[5]
