Albury Labor identity Darren Cameron said if Mr Aplin didn't score a ministerial role under the new Coalition leadership he should follow NSW Premier Mike Baird out of politics.

Mr Cameron, who is also an Albury councillor, said parts of Mr Aplin's electorate were hurting badly from the local government reforms instigated by Mr Baird.

“The Baird Government has been a disaster for the people of the Albury electorate,” Mr Cameron said.

“The worst example has been local government mergers which is starting to really affect the people of Corowa, Howlong and Urana as Mr Aplin sits back and twiddles his thumbs.

“If he is not promoted to the ministry in this reshuffle he should do the honourable thing and follow Mike Baird's lead and resign immediately.”

Mr Aplin, who will be 66 when the next election is held, has served in various shadow minister roles including emergency services and fair trading when the Coalition was in opposition.

Howlong anti-compost dump protesters had asked Mr Baird to intervene in the Cleanaway proposal for the town.

Howlong Community Committee chairman Ken Walton said the Premier's departure wouldn't be “helpful” in its pursuit to uncover the truth in how Federation Council meeting minutes provided Cleanaway with the green light to choose Howlong as its site for the dump.

“The issues are still the same,” he said.

The committee had written to Mr Baird this week with an invitation to attend its next public meeting.
