**Wingecarribee Shire** is the [local government area](/source/Local_government_in_Australia) of the [Southern Highlands](/source/Southern_Highlands_(New_South_Wales)) in the state of [New South Wales](/source/New_South_Wales), [Australia](/source/Australia). The Wingecarribee Shire is around 110 kilometres (70 mi) southwest of [Sydney](/source/Sydney) and is part of regional [Capital Country](/source/Capital_Country) and to some extent can be considered part of the [Southern Tablelands](/source/Southern_Tablelands).

Wingecarribee Shire covers an area of 2,700 square kilometres (1,000 sq mi) that is typically referred to as the *Southern Highlands*. Wingecarribee Shire is an important catchment area for water supply to Sydney, [Wollongong](/source/Wollongong) and the [Northern Shoalhaven](/source/Shoalhaven_River).

The Council seat and Chambers is in [Moss Vale](/source/Moss_Vale%2C_New_South_Wales). However, the centre of commerce of the Shire is in [Bowral](/source/Bowral).

The Shire came into existence on 1 January 1981 as an amalgamation of the three previous local government areas that made up the Southern Highlands; [Mittagong Shire](/source/Mittagong_Shire) (itself an amalgamation of Nattai Shire and Mittagong Municipality), Bowral Municipality and the former Wingecarribee Shire (based in Moss Vale).[4]

In 2012, the Wingecarribee Shire Council won a landmark [class action](/source/Class_action) against [Lehman Brothers](/source/Lehman_Brothers) Australia in the [Federal Court](/source/Federal_Court_of_Australia) after it was found that Lehman Brothers failed to give sound financial advice to the Wingecarribee Shire and other councils through exposure to high-risk investments known as [collateralised debt obligations](/source/Collateralized_debt_obligation). Wingecarribee Council suffered A$1.5 million of losses on its investments. The Federal Court found that the council was entitled to an initial award of A$9 million. In 2016 Council announced they had recovered $9.5 million of the $11 million in total losses, recovering 85.6% of all losses. Council's total legal costs of $724,894 were also recovered.[5][6][7][8]

Before the council was suspended in 2021 and an administrator was appointed,[9] the [mayor](/source/Mayor) of Wingecarribee Shire was [Cr.](/source/Councillor) Duncan Gair.[10] On 20 May 2021, Lisa Miscamble was appointed General Manager.[11]

## Etymology

The current shire retains the name of the former Wingecarribee Shire because the Wingecarribee River is one of the most significant geographical features that is found in all the three previous local government areas that made up the Highlands prior to amalgamation.[4]

The word *Wingecarribee* is from the [Dharawal language](/source/Tharawal_language) (an [Indigenous Australian](/source/Indigenous_Australian) language) which loosely translates into *"a flight of birds"*, or *"waters to rest beside"*. Moreover, the term "Wingecarribee" was used as the name of the area by the first settlers of the area, the Oxley Family (*See, [History of Bowral](/source/History_of_Bowral)*) and [Governor Macquarie](/source/Governor_Macquarie) in 1816 recorded it as "Winge Karribee". In 1838, the contemporary spelling was adapted by [Surveyor Mitchell](/source/Thomas_Mitchell_(explorer)).[4]

## Geology and geography

The Shire is crossed by the [Hume Highway](/source/Hume_Highway) and the [Southern Highlands railway line](/source/Southern_Highlands_railway_line%2C_New_South_Wales).

The pattern of development is one of small towns and villages. The eastern parts of the Shire are bounded by the [Illawarra escarpment](/source/Illawarra_escarpment) and [Morton National Park](/source/Morton_National_Park), with some remnant rainforest and heathland. The north of the Shire is characterised by rugged [eucalypt](/source/Eucalypt) bushland, with gullies, gorges and sandy soils. This area forms part of the catchment for [Sydney](/source/Sydney)'s water supply and two major storage dams [(Avon and Nepean Dams)](/source/Upper_Nepean_Scheme) are in this area. The dams cannot be accessed by any roads within the Wingecarribee Shire but by roads leading off south-east of the [Wollondilly Shire](/source/Wollondilly_Shire). The [Wollondilly](/source/Wollondilly_River) and [Wingecarribee Rivers](/source/Wingecarribee_River) flow through the west of the Shire, through deep sandstone valleys and much of this area forms part of the catchment for [Warragamba Dam](/source/Warragamba_Dam). The south of the Shire is bounded by Uringalla Creek and is a sandstone plateaux dissected by deep gorges.

Wingecarribee Swamp is home to the remaining population of the endangered [Giant dragonfly](/source/Giant_dragonfly) and [Wingecarribee Leek Orchid](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wingecarribee_Leek_Orchid&action=edit&redlink=1).[12]
