District Council of Booyoolie

The District Council of Booyoolie was a local government area in South Australia.

It was proclaimed on 2 March 1876 and comprised the entire cadastral Hundred of Booyoolie.

It included at its inception the government town of Booyoolie (which had been built on the opposite side of the railway line from the private township of Gladstone), North Gladstone, Laura and Stone Hut.

[1] It was divided into five wards (North, South, Central, Lower and Booyoolie), each electing one councillor.

[4][1] Having already been substantially reduced in size by the Gladstone area changes, the district lost a significant portion of its remaining ratepayers when the township of Laura separated as the Corporate Town of Laura on 22 June 1882, leaving it representing a nearly entirely rural area.
