Local Government In Australia
Local government is the third level of government in Australia, administered with limited autonomy under the states and territories, and in turn beneath the federal government. Local government is not mentioned in the Constitution of Australia, and two referendums in 1974 and 1988 to alter the Constitution relating to local government were unsuccessful. Every state/territory government recognises local government in its own respective constitution. Unlike the two-tier local government system in Canada or the United States, there is only one tier of local government in each Australian state/territory, with no distinction between counties and cities. The Australian local government is generally run by a council, and its territory of public administration is referred to generically by the Australian Bureau of Statistics as the local government area or LGA, each of which encompasses multiple suburbs or localities often of different postcodes; however, stylised terms such a ...

Ipswich, Queensland
Ipswich () is a city in South East Queensland, Australia. Situated on the Bremer River, it is approximately west of the Brisbane central business district. The city is renowned for its architectural, natural and cultural heritage. Ipswich preserves and operates from many of its historical buildings, with more than 6000 heritage-listed sites and over 500 parks. Ipswich began in 1827 as a mining settlement. History Early history Ipswich according to The Queenslander (Brisbane, Qld,: 1866-1939), Thursday 18 January 1934, Page 13 was tribally known as Coodjirar meaning place of the Red Stemmed Gum Tree in the Yugararpul language. Jagara (also known as Jagera, Yagara, and Yuggara) and Yugarabul (also known as Ugarapul and Yuggerabul) are Australian Aboriginal languages of South-East Queensland. There is some uncertainty over the status of Jagara as a language, dialect or perhaps a group or clan within the local government boundaries of Ipswich City Council, Lockyer Regional C ...

Shire Of Lowood
The Shire of Lowood is a former local government area in the south-east of Queensland, Australia. It existed between 1912 and 1916. History From around 1890, increasing settlement in and around the town of Lowood resulted in ongoing agitation to establish a new shire. An alternative proposal was to relocate the office of the Shire of Walloon away from Marburg and into Lowood on the grounds that the majority of the population of the Shire of Walloon used Lowood as their market town and that Lowood had the advantage of being on the railway line (which Marburg was not). In November 1907, the decision was made to relocate the office to Lowood, which was rescinded in the following month. The issue continued to be argued for some time, with petitions and counter-petitions. However, once it became clear the office would not be relocated to Lowood, the Lowood area residents resumed their push for the establishment of a separate shire. Eventually, on 19 January 1912, under the ''Local Au ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Shire Of Rosewood
The Shire of Rosewood is a former local government area in the south-east of Queensland, Australia. History On 11 November 1879, the Walloon Division was created as one of 74 divisions within Queensland under the ''Divisional Boards Act 1879''. On 11 October 1890, part of the Walloon Division was separated to create the Rosewood Division. The first elections in Rosewood Division were held on 31 January 1891 and the first meeting was held on 11 February 1892. On 31 March 1903, with the passage of the ''Local Authorities Act 1902'', the Rosewood Division became the Shire of Rosewood, while the Walloon Division became the Shire of Walloon. Following some years of protracted discussion and considerable argument, on 4 July 1905, the Shire of Mutdapilly was abolished and absorbed into an enlarged Shire of Rosewood. The rationale for this amalgamation was that the two shires were too small to be economical, with 30% of income going to office expenses; a combined shire was expected ...
