The Town of Kyabram was a local government area in the Goulburn Valley region about 200 kilometres (124 mi) north of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia, and 35 kilometres (22 mi) west of Shepparton. The Town covered an area of 25.85 square kilometres (10.0 sq mi), and existed from 1954 until 1994.

History

The town was originally on the western edge of the Shire of Rodney but on 1 April 1954 it was severed and became a borough. On 4 July 1973 it became a town. The Town annexed 7.31 square kilometres (2.82 sq mi) of land in the Shire of Rodney on 1 October 1991.[2]

On 18 November 1994, the Town was abolished, and merged with the City of Echuca, the Shires of Deakin, Rochester and Waranga and some neighbouring districts into the Shire of Campaspe.[3]

Wards

Kyabram was not divided into wards and its nine councillors represented the entire town.
