 A council chamber had been completed by the end of December 1879; it was described as "not a large building" but "well suited for the purposes for which it was intended".The Narridy council ceased to exist from 5 January 1888 after being amalgamated with the adjacent District Council of Georgetown by the "District Councils Act 1887".Its abolition was followed by angry local calls for a demerger later in 1888, which met with blanket government refusal; at a local meeting discussing this outcome, it was reported that "it was freely expressed that the Premier was working into the hands of Georgetown".
