The Corporate Town of Laura was a local government area in South Australia, centred on the town of Laura.
It was proclaimed on 22 June 1882, separating the township of Laura itself from the surrounding District Council of Booyoolie.
[1][2] It held its first meeting at the Laura Hotel on 24 June.
One of their first acts was to undertake a program of plantings in streets and local parks.
[7][8] In 1910, the council's responsibilities included maintenance of roads, kerbing and paving, sanitary inspection, street lighting, maintenance of the town hall and sports oval pavilion and local parklands.
