The case for Shellharbour City Council, along with five Sydney councils, is back in the Land and Environment Court this afternoon.
In early May, it was announced councillors would likely be sacked before the end of their official terms to allow the merger to go ahead.
But Shellharbour council’s eleventh hour action, challenging the legality of the government’s proposal, blocked the merger.
