Flinders Council

The Shire of Flinders in north-western Queensland, Australia covers an area of 41,200 square kilometres and has been a local government entity since 1882. Named after the Flinders River, the area is mainly used for grazing, with cattle in the north and mixed grazing in the black soil area to the south. The region is home to the Jirandali Aboriginal language, with the language region including various areas within the Shire of Flinders. The Hughenden Division, which later became the Shire of Flinders, was established on 20 July 1882 under the Divisional Boards Act 1879.

The council area of Flinders (Qld) has a mix of occupations, with managers being the most common followed by labourers and professionals. The majority of households either own outright or are purchasers of their dwellings, while the top industries include agriculture, construction, and real estate services.
