Maranoa Regional Council

Maranoa Regional Council November Newsletter

The Maranoa Region is located in south west Queensland approximately 480km west of the state capital of Brisbane. Covering an area of 58,830sq km and home for approximately 13,000 people, the region maintains a proud and productive rural industry which in more recent years has been complimented with industrial expansion in the energy and tourism sectors.

Roma Regional Council was officially formed on 15 March 2008, as part of the Queensland Local Government Reform processes introduced by the Queensland State Government, encompassing the previous Roma Town Council and Bungil, Bendemere, Warroo and Booringa Shire Councils.  A regional survey and independant review by the Electoral Commissioner, resulted in Council's name change from Roma Regional Council to Maranoa Regional Council on Friday, 26 June 2009.

Please take five minutes to complete Council's new online survey.
