  • part of the locality of Balcomba (remainder in Central Highlands Region)[2]
  • part of the locality of Bauhinia (remainder in Central Highlands Region)[3]
  • part of the locality of Duaringa (remainder in Central Highlands Region)[4]
  • part of the locality of Wallaroo (remainder in Central Highlands Region)[5]
  • the town and locality of Woorabinda (entirely in the Aboriginal Shire of Woorabinda)[6][7]
