Queensland Local Government Reform

General information about the State Government's reform process and recommendations can be obtained from the State Government's Stronger Councils Website.
As part of the Stage Government's Reform Process the Charters Towers City Council and Dalrymple Shire Council were amalgamated to form the new Charters Towers Regional Council. The amalgamating Councils were required to establish a Local Transition Committee to oversee and implement the amalgamation.
