Frustrated residents have said they are considering running for council to push for solutions on issues including Lake Albert's water levels, central urban planning, and flood protection for North Wagga.

The current councillors will conclude a five year term in September after having their tenures extended by a NSW government decision to postpone the 2020 local government elections because of coronavirus.

Wagga Boat Club commodore Mick Henderson said he wasn't ruling out running for a spot to push for change on the way council manages Lake Albert.

Mr Henderson has enjoyed support on social media since he admitted to being one of "several" people who installed unauthorised shutters on Tatton Drain, in protest over council's lack of progress on fixing the lake's water levels.

"I know there's a lot of questions out there asking for me to do it. I am a community based person so if it finally came to a decision, being in the best interests of the community, that could be a turning point," he said.

"We need more things here to attract people. I feel the town's slowly been going backwards not forwards and we've got to steer it in the right direction."

Outspoken flood levee campaigner Fiona Ziff said voters would definitely have the choice of "one, maybe two" North Wagga residents at the ballot box.

Ms Ziff acts as treasurer of the North Wagga Residents Association, which has been locked in a feud with council over improved flood protection for their village.

She indicated she would run if she was supported by other North Wagga occupants, saying she was considering joining forces with some Central residents who were dissatisfied with the Morgan Street development.

Former councillor Mary Kidson, who served on council from 1977 to 1999, warned that single-issue candidates "rarely achieve what they want to".

"Obviously there are things you might want to support more strongly than you do other things. But nevertheless I do think you're fooling the public, saying 'This is my big issue, but I do care about other things'," she said.

Mrs Kidson said councillors who were elected on one main issue could then be hindered by conflicts of interest and possibly even pecuniary interests.

"Furthermore, I think it can lead to extreme frustration. I recall a long time ago a councillor whose only interest was pedestrian crossings. They're important but a city has many needs," she said.

"You can't tell people what you'll do. You'll tell people the sort of things you'll support across a whole range of areas."
