History


The Borough of Roma was established in 1867.[2]


On 31 March 1903, under the Local Authorities Act (1902), the Borough of Roma became the Town of Roma.[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:[2][3]



  • 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.[3]

Quarantine

For other uses, see Quarantine (disambiguation). Signal flag "Lima" called the "Yellow Jack" which when flown in harbor means ship is under quarantine. 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.
