As at 15 March 2008 this former local government area ceased to exist, having been wholly amalgamated into the Tablelands Regional Council.
Shire of Atherton is a Local Government Area in Far North Queensland, Australia. The shire is situated on the Atherton Tableland, a plateau forming part of the Great Dividing Range west of the city of Cairns. Atherton Shire includes the towns of Kairi, Tinaroo, Tolga and the administrative centre, Atherton.
The shire was originally known as the Tinaroo Shire; the name was changed to Atherton Shire in 1935.[1]
