Cootamundra, Administrative division in New South Wales, Australia
Cootamundra covers 1,524 square kilometers within the South West Slopes region, featuring the Olympic Highway and Main South railway line intersections.
The administrative division emerged from the 1975 amalgamation of Jindalee Shire and Municipality of Cootamundra, forming a unified local government area.
The region maintains strong connections to Aboriginal heritage through the Wiradjuri people, whose language contributed the name meaning turtle.
The administrative area underwent restructuring in 2016, merging with Gundagai Shire, with plans for independent elections scheduled for September 2024.
The jurisdiction includes several small towns such as Stockinbingal, Brawlin, and Wallendbeen, maintaining records of land ownership through parishes and lots.
