The Shire of Calliope was a local government area in the Capricornia region of Queensland, Australia. It was centred on the town of Calliope.[2]
History
Calliope Division was created on 11 November 1879 as one of 74 divisions around Queensland under the Divisional Boards Act 1879 with a population of 1044.[3]
On 7 January 1902 part of Calliope Division was separated to create Miriam Vale Division.[4]
With the passage of the Local Authorities Act 1902, Calliope Division became the Shire of Calliope on 31 March 1903.
In 1927, the council hall was in Gladstone.[5]
Following the report of the Local Government Reform Commission released in July 2007, three former local government areas:
- City of Gladstone
- Shire of Calliope
- Shire of Miriam Vale
were amalgamated to form Gladstone Region on 15 March 2008.[2][6]
