The Goulburn Historical Society have labelled figures being thrown about the place to repair the St. Clair Museum as excessive.

This comes as sections of council push for a new centre of history for Goulburn with concerns about the ongoing maintenance and upkeep of the building.

President Garry White says they need someone who's going to be fair dinkum with them to explain the truth.

Goulburn MP Pru Goward has welcomed proposed changes to the boundaries of her state parliamentary seat claiming it's a great outcome for the residents around Goulburn.

Under changes released by the Electoral Commission, the seat of Burrinjuck, held by National and Primary Industries Minister, Katrina Hodgkinson would be re - named.

About a third of Burrinjuck will be placed in the revamped electorate of Goulburn, along with Moss Vale and Robertson,  while the remainder of Burrinjuck is included in a new seat named Cootamundra.

Ms Goward says two thirds of the new Goulburn seat is made up of her current electorate and based on those boundaries, the Nationals can have no claim on the seat.
