History

Bungaree was first incorporated as a road district on 16 January 1863 and became a shire on 27 January 1871. The shire was originally divided into three ridings in August 1879, but after it lost a small section to the City of Ballaarat on 31 March 1930, it was redivided into two ridings. All divisions were abolished on 6 August 1988, and the council, from then until its dissolution, had nine councillors.[2]

On 6 May 1994, the Shire of Bungaree was abolished, and along with parts of the Shire of Buninyong, was merged into the newly created Shire of Moorabool.
