The Lockyer Valley Regional Council was created at midnight on the 14th March 2008 as a result of the amalgamation of the Gatton and Laidley Shire Councils.

Gatton Shire Council and Laidley Shire Council have been amalgamated as of the 15th March 2008.

As you can appreciate there is a lot of work to be done to combine services from both shires to the New Lockyer Valley Regional Council. As with any change there is a period of transition, as such this site will be undergoing some major changes while this transition of services is occuring.

In the short term you may find links to information from either Laidley or Gatton or both, please be patient. If you have any concerns about the legitimacy of the information provided on this site please contact either council office directly, Staff at either office will be only too happy to assist with your enquiry.
