[edit] History
The Municipality of Warwick came into being on 25 May 1861 under the Municipalities Act 1861. With the passage of the Local Authorities Act 1902, it became a Town, and on 4 April 1936 it was proclaimed as a City.
On 21 November 1991, the Electoral and Administrative Review Commission, created two years earlier, produced its second report, and recommended that local government boundaries in the Warwick area be rationalised, and that the City be merged with the Shires of Allora, Glengallan and Rosenthal to form a new Shire of Warwick. The Local Government (Allora, Glengallan, Rosenthal and Warwick) Regulation 1994 was gazetted on 20 May 1994. On 25 June, an election was held for the new council, and on 1 July 1994, Warwick passed out of existence.
