Council amalgamation

A recent issue in NSW that has been perpetually simmering, for what feels like the whole time I've lived here, is 'Council Amalgamation.' The state proposed merger of many clusters of smaller councils to a few large government bodies. A few stand to gain and many think they stand to lose if this happens. It looks more efficient, but is the primary job of local government efficiency?
