Dalby Regional Council

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dalby Regional Council is a proposed Local Government Area in Queensland, Australia. The Local Government Area will be created in March 2008 as a result of the report of the Local Government Reform Commission released in July 2007. The new Council, located in the Darling Downs region will contain the entire area of five existing Local Government Areas;

• Dalby Town Council;
• Shire of Chinchilla;
• Shire of Murilla;
• Shire of Tara;
• Shire of Wambo

as well as Division 2 of Shire of Taroom.

The report recommends that the new local government area should not be divided into wards and elect ten councillors and a mayor. The Dalby Regional Council will cover an area 38,039 square kilometres (14,687 sq mi), contain an estimated resident population in 2006 of 30,018 and have an estimated operating budget of AUD74m.

The Regional Council will cover the towns of Bell, Brigalow, Chinchilla, Condamine, Dalby, Drillham, Dulacca, Jandowae, Jimbour, Kaimkillenbun, Kogan, Miles, Moonie, Tara, The Gums, Wandoan and Warra.
