Shire of Bendemere was a local government area in the Maranoa region of Queensland, Australia, and existed from 1911 until 2008 when it amalgamated into Maranoa Region. The Shire, administered from the town of Yuleba, covered an area of 3,926.8 square kilometres (1,516.1 sq mi), and existed as a local government entity from 1911 until 2008, when it was amalgamated with the Town of Roma and the Shires of Booringa, Bungil and Warroo to form the Maranoa Region.
History
The Shire of Bendemere was established on 12 January 1911 from portions of the Shires of Bungil, Murilla and Warroo.[2][3]
In July 2007, the Local Government Reform Commission released a report recommending a number of amalgamations of local government areas in Queensland. As a result, under the Local Government (Reform Implementation) Act 2007, on 15 March 2008, the new local government area of Roma Region was created, as an amalgamation of five previous local government areas:[4]
- Shire of Bendemere
- Shire of Booringa
- Shire of Bungil
- Town of Roma
- Shire of Warroo
On 26 July 2009, Roma Region was renamed Maranoa Region.[4]
