Gatton Shire
Gatton Shire, an area of 1572 sq km, immediately east of Toowoomba, was amalgamated with Laidley Shire in 2008 to form Lockyer Valley Regional Council. It contained almost all of the Lockyer Creek drainage system which has its headwaters in the dividing range and runs easterly to join the Brisbane River near Lowood.
