Roma Regional Council

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Roma Regional Council is a proposed Local Government Area in Queensland, Australia. The Local Government Area will be created in March 2008 as a result of the report of the Local Government Reform Commission released in July 2007. The new Council, located in the Western Downs/Maranoa region, will contain the entire area of five existing Local Government Areas;

• Shire of Bendemere;
• Shire of Booringa;
• Shire of Bungil;
• Town of Roma; and
• Shire of Warroo.

The report recommends that the new local government area should not be divided into wards and elect eight councillors and a mayor. The Roma Regional Council will cover an area 58,830 square kilometres (22,714 sq mi), contain an estimated resident population in 2006 of 12,648 and have an operating budget of AUD44.2m.

The Regional Council will cover the towns of Injune, Mitchell, Roma, Surat and Yuleba and the villages/communities of Amby, Jackson, Muckadilla, Mungallala and Wallumbilla.
