Goulburn (Shire 1871-1994)

Full description

Goulburn Shire was created in 1871 by Order of the Governor in Council published by Victorian Government Gazette No. S20, 24th of March 1871.

The Shire was divided into three ridings (VGG No. S47 7 July 1871), Tabilk, Wahring and Drgalong subdivisions.

This council was abolished as part of a statewide program of local government reform enacted between 1993 and 1995. The reform process reduced the number of councils from 210 to 78.

Strathbogie Shire (VA 3720) has been appointed as the successor in law for the Goulburn Shire Council and has assumed any rights, assets and liabilities of these abolished councils.
