History




Map of Bungil Division and adjacent local government areas, March 1902


Wallumbilla Division (later renamed Booringa Division) was established on 11 November 1879 as one of the original divisions proclaimed under the Divisional Boards Act 1879 with a population of 3217.[3]


On 21 May 1880, part of Wallumbilla Division was separated to create Bungil Division.[4]


On 31 March 1903, Bungil Division became Shire of Bungil under the "Local Authorities Act 1902".[2]


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:[5]



  • the Town of Roma;

  • the Shire of Bendemere;

  • the Shire of Booringa;

  • the Shire of Bungil;

  • and the Shire of Warroo.


On 26 July 2009, Roma Region was renamed Maranoa Region.[5]

A simple yellow flag (also called the "Yellow Jack") had historically been used to signal quarantine (it stands for Q among signal flags), but now indicates the opposite, as a signal of a ship free of disease that requests boarding and inspection.

[1] This is often used in connection to disease and illness, such as those who may possibly have been exposed to a communicable disease.
