The 2025 Snowy Valleys Council de-amalgamation referendum was held on 29 November 2025 to vote on a proposal to de-amalgamate the Snowy Valleys Council in New South Wales, Australia and return to the former Tumbarumba Shire and Tumut Shire local government areas (LGAs) that were involuntarily merged in 2016.
The referendum required a majority of all 10,396 registered voters to pass, rather than just a majority among those who turn out to vote.
The final count resulted in an overwhelming majoirty in favour of de-amalgamation, easily passing the 5,199 threshold on the first day of counting alone and a final yes result of 87.3% of the vote and 76.2% of all registered voters.
