The Shire of Talbot and Clunes was a Local Government Area located about convert|160|km|mi|0 northwest of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia. The shire covered an area of convert|541.31|km2|sqmi|1, and existed from 1860 until 1994.

History

What became the Shire of Talbot and Clunes had its origins in several different local authorities during the 1850s gold rush:

* The Borough of Talbot was incorporated on 22 October 1858 with an area of convert|22.57|km2|sqmi|abbr=on surrounding the town of Talbot.
* The Borough of Clunes was incorporated on 19 October 1860 with an area of convert|23.31|km2|sqmi|abbr=on surrounding the town of Clunes.
* The Shire of Talbot was incorporated on 16 November 1860 as a district, becoming a shire on 31 October 1865.

After the passage of the "Local Government Amendment Act 1914", it was found that Talbot did not meet the criteria of a borough as its rateable income was below £300 per annum, so it was amalgamated on 1 October 1915 with the shire.

On 31 May 1965, an Order in Council united the Borough of Clunes with the Shire of Talbot to create the new Shire.cite book|title=Victorian Municipal Directory|year=1992|publisher=Arnall & Jackson|location=Brunswick|pages=850-851 Accessed at State Library of Victoria, La Trobe Reading Room.]

On 20 January 1995, the Shire was abolished and split between the Shire of Central Goldfields (Talbot) and the Shire of Hepburn (Clunes).
