The Blackall-Tambo Region is a local government area in Central West Queensland, Australia.
[4] Prior to the 2008 amalgamation, the Blackall-Tambo Region existed as two distinct local government areas: The entire Region was originally part of Kargoolnah Division, which was created on 11 November 1879 as one of 74 divisions around Queensland under the Divisional Boards Act 1879.
On 20 May 1880, a municipal Borough of Blackall was created to cover the town and its first councillors were elected in July 1880.
The latter was abolished on 7 November 1931 and became Division 3 of the Kargoolnah Shire, which had in the meantime shrunk to include only the Blackall region.
In July 2007, the Local Government Reform Commission released its report and recommended that the two areas amalgamate.
