History

Cue initially existed as two entities - the Cue Road Board, gazetted in December 1895, and the Daydawn Municipal Council, gazetted in December 1894. In 1912, they merged to form the Cue-Daydawn Road Board, which was renamed Cue in 1930. On 1 July 1961, it became a Shire Council following changes to the Local Government Act.
