Local government area in Queensland, Australia
TheCity of Warwick was alocal government area administering the regional centre ofWarwick in theDarling Downs region ofQueensland . The City covered an area of 25.1 square kilometres (9.7 sq mi), and existed as a local government entity from 1861 until 1994, when it was dissolved and amalgamated withShire of Allora ,Shire of Rosenthal andShire of Glengallan to form theShire of Warwick .
TheBorough of Warwick came into being on 25 May 1861 under theMunicipalities Act 1858 , a piece of New South Wales legislation inherited by Queensland at its separation two years earlier.[ 2]
With the passage of theLocal Authorities Act 1902 , the Borough of Warwick became theTown of Warwick .[ 2] [ 3]
On 4 April 1936 it was proclaimed as the City of Warwick.[ 3] [ 4]
On 19 March 1992, theElectoral and Administrative Review Commission , created two years earlier, produced its reportExternal Boundaries of Local Authorities , and recommended that local government boundaries in the Warwick area be rationalised into 3 new local government areas.[ 5] That recommendation was not implemented, but the outcome was that the City of Warwick was merged with the Shires ofAllora ,Glengallan andRosenthal to form a newShire of Warwick . TheLocal Government (Allora, Glengallan, Rosenthal and Warwick) Regulation 1994 was gazetted on 20 May 1994. On 25 June, an election was held for the new council, and on 1 July 1994, the City of Warwick was abolished.[ 4] [ 6]
