Boundaries Commission

The appointment of the Queensland Boundaries Commissioner is a key commitment outlined in the Queensland Government’s First 100 Day Action Plan and Empowering Queensland Local Government policy.

Col Meng, the former mayor of Mackay Regional Council was appointed as Commissioner on 29 June 2012. The Commissioner will review local government de-amalgamation proposals referred by the Minister for Local Government in an open and logical way and will undertake adequate public consultation.

De-amalgamation proposals will be assessed against a set of financial, social and economic criteria.
