[edit] History

Cue initially existed as two entities - the Cue Road Board, gazetted in December 1895, and the Daydawn Municipal Council, gazetted in December 1894. In 1912, they merged to form the Cue-Daydawn Road Board, which was renamed Cue in 1930. On 1 July 1961, it became a Shire Council following changes to the Local Government Act.[1]

[edit] Wards

The shire is divided into three wards:

  • Cue Ward (5 councillors)
  • Daydawn Ward (1 councillor)
  • Tuckanarra Ward (1 councillor)
