Shire of Rosewood

The Shire of Rosewood is a former local government area in the south-east of Queensland, Australia.

[9] On 13 October 1916, a rationalisation of the local government areas in and around Ipswich was implemented.

[14][15] Local residents then petitioned the Queensland Government to dissolve the council.

[17][18] All members of the dissolved council stood for re-election; in addition, there were other candidates.

The City of Ipswich was enlarged (from 12¼ square miles to 30 square miles) to include the more urban parts of the Shire of Moreton (formerly known as the Shire of Ipswich).
