What do you know about the central highland
Answers
Answer:
The Central Highlands Region was created in March 2008 as a result of the report of the Local Government Reform Commission released in July 2007. The new local government area, located in Central Queensland, contains the entire areas of four previous local government areas:
the Shire of Bauhinia;
the Shire of Duaringa;
the Shire of Emerald;
and the Shire of Peak Downs.
Legislation introduced into the Queensland Parliament gave the name of the new region as Central Highlands. The report recommended that the new local government area should not be divided into wards and elect eight councillors and a mayor. The Central Highlands Region has an area of 53,677 square kilometres (20,725 sq mi), contains an estimated resident population in 2006 of 26,824 and has an estimated operating budget of American $66 million.
