Most recently, the District Councils of Rocky River, Spalding, and Jamestown merged on 3 May 1997 . Rocky River Council was formed on 4 May 1988 from the district councils of Laura, Georgetown, and Gladstone. Jamestown District Council was a merger of the district council (itself the merger of Caltowie, Belalie and part of Yongala District Councils in 1935 ) with the Corporation of Jamestown in 1991 .
