Gundagai Shire is a local government area in the Riverina region of New South Wales, Australia, on the Hume Highway. Gundagai was declared a Municipality in 1889, and Adjungbilly Shire Council created in 1906 to administer the district. These two were amalgamated in 1923 to form the Gundagai Shire Council, which still administers local government today.^[3]
