"We'll go through the process and explain why and talk about what we have to do before a submission is made to the local government reform body," Mr Tolhurst said.
The NSW government is reforming Local Government with the aim of ensuring councils have the scale and capacity to be sustainable in the long term.
The Wellington Council says it will prepare a submission for the Office of Local Government by June 30, 2015 that outlines the steps needed to place Wellington Council in a long term sustainable situation.
Wellington Council invites community members to the community consultation meetings to find out more information about the Fit for the Future program and its impact on Wellington residents.
