The Burdekin Shire Council covers an area of approximately 5,053 square kilometres and is bordered by Townsville City Council to the north, Charters Towers Regional Council to the west and Whitsunday Regional Council to the south.
The Shire has an estimated resident population of approximately 18,500 (Census 2010) and is categorised as a Rural Agricultural Very Large (RAV) Local Authority under the Australian classification of Local Governments.
The Council has its origins back in 1888 when the Ayr Divisional Board was formed. On 1st April, 1903 all Divisions became Shires under the Local Authorities' Act of 1902 and the Council of the Shire of Ayr was created. In 1982 the name was changed to Council of the Shire of Burdekin to more accurately reflect the geographic area covered by the Council.
The Council plays an important role in improving the liveability of our community by providing many of the services and facilities used every day.
