Queensland local government boundaries, 2008
Civil government boundaries

The hotly contested amalgamations by the Beattie Labor Government in 2008 made for a simpler map, more than halving the number of councils from 157 to 73, but in many places they lacked public acceptance.

Civil government boundaries

Pastoral occupation and land clearing were so imprinted on Queensland that the settled and unsettled districts continued to be shown in standard atlas maps into the twentieth century. They are shown thus on the map taken from J.G. Bartholomew’s Royal Australasian World Atlas, c1900. Municipal and shire boundaries had neither the simplicity nor popular recognition of the twelve districts.
