Lands administrative divisions of Queensland

Some of the eastern counties remained the same, with most of the subdivisions occurring in the west and north.

The current counties were named and bounded by the Governor in Council on 7 March 1901.

[3][4] In 2006, the government sought advice about a plan to abolish the counties and parishes within the state.

[5] From 30 November 2015, the government no longer referenced counties and parishes in land information systems however the Museum of Lands, Mapping and Surveying retains a record for historical purposes.

The districts still exist today, forming the top level of Queensland's land titles system.
