Local Government (Shires) Act 1905 was a landmark New South Wales statute notable for the compulsory incorporation of local government areas for around 40% of the area of New South Wales. The Act created 134 rural shires, many surrounding a small urban area separately and voluntarily incorporated under the Municipalities Act 1858 and the following Municipalities Act 1867 and Municipalities Act 1897 [1] As well as the compulsory incorporation of rural areas, the Local Government (Shires) Act repealed the Municipalities Act - bringing local government under one legislative framework. [2]

The Act provided the newly constituted Shires with a limited set of powers; to act as a roads board and to provide other necessary local functions such as nightsoil collection and building control. Rates were charged on what has been described as a "benefit related" basis based on the unimproved capital value of the land on the "assumption ... that land values should reflect the benefits accrued from public expenditure, such as road building and maintenance". This rating methodology encouraged development as property that had been developed and improved paid no more in rates than unimproved properties. [2]

In the development of the Act, a Local Government Commission was established to determine the nature of the compulsory incorporation. The commission's initial report was released in March 1905, before the Act was proclaimed. It recommended the establishment of 131 areas, 15 additions to existing municipalities and 2 new municipalities. After considering objections, the Commission recommended 134 areas, to be called "Shires" and 32 additions to existing municipalities. The commission also provided the name for each Shire, avoiding where possible the use of the names of existing municipalities and usually using the name of some local, natural feature. [3]

The design has been arranged so as to comply as far as possible with the community of interests, lines of communication, and physical features, attention being also given to the necessity of grouping each shire round a town which is about its natural centre, and from which existing roads radiate. Another consideration of a rather conflicting character was the necessity for making the shires large enough to yield sufficient revenue to defray the cost of works and administration. Boundary lines have been fixed where practicable at rivers or mountain ranges. All incorporated areas have been excluded

The Act was repealed with the passing of the Local Government Act 1919 . [4]

The City of Gosford was a local government area that was located in the Central Coast region in the state of New South Wales, Australia. The incorporation of Gosford dates back to 1886 when the Town of Gosford was proclaimed as the Borough of Gosford, becoming the Municipality of Gosford from 1906. In 1908, the Gosford Municipality merged into Erina Shire which covered the remaining Central Coast area outside of Gosford, but regained its independence in 1936. From 1 January 1947, local government in the Central Coast region was reorganised, creating Gosford Shire and Wyong Shire, and the final boundaries of Gosford City Council date from this period. From 1 January 1980, Gosford Shire was granted city status, becoming the City of Gosford. On 12 May 2016 the Minister for Local Government amalgamated the City of Gosford and Wyong Shire Councils to form the new Central Coast Council.
