History

The Shire of Northern Grampians was formed in 1995 from the amalgamation of the City of Stawell, Town of St Arnaud, Shire of Stawell, Shire of Kara Kara, the Grampians section of the Shire of Wimmera, and parts of the Shire of Dunmunkle and Shire of Donald. Additionally, the Shire of Avoca contributed the southern half of Navarre township, the Shire of Ararat contributed an area on the outskirts of Halls Gap, and the Shire of Arapiles contributed its share of the Grampians National Park.

In January 1996, part of the Richardson River catchment east and south of Rupanyup was transferred from Northern Grampians to the Shire of Yarriambiack after a further Local Government Board review.
