The Shire of Tullaroop was a local government area about 170 kilometres (106 mi) northwest of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia, surrounding the regional centre of Maryborough. The shire covered an area of 637.63 square kilometres (246.2 sq mi), and existed from 1861 until 1995. Maryborough itself was managed by a separate entity, ultimately known as the City of Maryborough. After a large-scale statewide amalgamation program by the Victorian Government in 1994, they were united under the Shire of Central Goldfields.

History

[edit]

Tullaroop was incorporated as a road district on 18 January 1861, and became a shire on 24 January 1865.

On 1 October 1915, two boroughs were united with Tullaroop; Carisbrook Borough, established on 7 August 1857, with an area of 21.83 square kilometres (8.43 sq mi), and Majorca Borough, established on 28 December 1864, with an area of 20.25 square kilometres (7.82 sq mi). Majorca Borough was originally known as Craigie Borough until 1876.[2][3]

On 20 January 1995, the Shire of Tullaroop was abolished, and along with the City of Maryborough and parts of the Shire of Bet Bet and surrounding districts, was merged into the newly created Shire of Central Goldfields. The Laanecoorie Reservoir was merged into the newly created Shire of Loddon.[4]
