Corporate Town of Gladstone
The Corporate Town of Gladstone was a local government area in South Australia, centred on the town of Gladstone. It was proclaimed on 8 March 1883, separating the township from the surrounding District Council of Gladstone. In 1924, it transferred ownership of the Town Hall and the Soldiers' Memorial to the Gladstone Institute.[1] It ceased to exist on 15 May 1933 when it merged back into the District Council.[2] It was expressed at the time that there was local regret at the loss of the distinct town council, but that a decline in rates and reductions in state government expenditure had made it a necessity.[3]
