The Shire of Wambo was a local government area in the Darling Downs region of Queensland, Australia. The shire completely surrounded but did not include the town of Dalby — which had its own municipal government. It covered an area of {{convert|5709.7|km2|sqmi|1}}, and existed as a local government entity from 1879 until 2008, when it amalgamated with the Town of Dalby and the Shires of Chinchilla, Murilla and Tara and the southern part of Taroom to form the Western Downs Region.

History

Wambo Division was created on 11 November 1879 as one of 74 divisions around Queensland under the Divisional Boards Act 1879 with a population of 1018.[2][3]

On 23 February 1882, there was a realignment of boundaries between Wambo Division and Barambah Division, involving subdivision 3 of Wambo Division and subdivisions 1 and 2 of Barambah Division.[4][5]

With the passage of the Local Authorities Act 1902, Wambo Division became the Shire of Wambo on 31 March 1903.[3][6]

On 15 March 2008, under the Local Government (Reform Implementation) Act 2007 passed by the Parliament of Queensland on 10 August 2007, the Shire of Wambo merged with the Town of Dalby and the Shires of Chinchilla, Murilla and Tara and Division 2 of the Shire of Taroom (the Wandoan area) to form the Western Downs Region.[6][7]
