The Shire of Delatite was a local government area in Victoria, Australia, located in the north-east part of the state. It covered an area of 6,218 square kilometres (2,401 sq mi) and, at the 2001 Census, had a population of 21,553.[1] It included the towns of Benalla and Mansfield. It was formed in 1994 from the amalgamation of the City of Benalla, Shire of Benalla, the former Shire of Mansfield and part of the Shire of Violet Town.[3] In 2002 the shire was de-amalgamated into the Rural City of Benalla and Shire of Mansfield.[2] This process has been cited by residents of other councils forced to merge as an example of successful de-amalgamation.
The Shire was governed and administered by the Delatite Shire Council; its seat of local government and administrative centre was located at the council headquarters in Benalla, it also had a service centre located in Mansfield. The Shire was named after the county of Delatite, in which the LGA occupied most of this county.
