After the 2011 season, Thornton Park (now Thornton Redbacks FC) were elected for promotion to NSW State League Division 1 and Kahibah relegated with Warners Bay and Plattsburg Maryland taking their places in 2012.

The competition briefly dropped to a 7 team competition in 2020, before resuming to a 10 team competition.

2023 saw the expansion of the Zone League 1 from 10 to 12 teams among a greater restructure of the Zone Football Leagues.
