Pristine Waters Council

Pristine Waters Council (sometimes referred to as Pristine Waters Shire) was a short-lived local government area in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Australia.

It was proclaimed on 24 May 2000 and commenced operations officially on 1 July 2000, following a merger of Nymboida Shire and Ulmarra Shire.

After just four years, Pristine Waters amalgamated with Grafton, Copmanhurst and Maclean to form Clarence Valley Council on 24 February 2004.

Prior to the amalgamation, Pristine Waters was scheduled to have an election on 27 March 2004, although only one candidate had nominated with the New South Wales Electoral Commission as of 24 February (the same day as the abolition). The last-minute abolition prevented incumbent councillor Olive Boundy from contesting the election in Coffs Harbour.
