The City of Redcliffe is a former local government area in South East Queensland, Australia. In 2008 it was amalgamated with the Shires of Pine Rivers and Caboolture to create Moreton Bay Region. It is in the northern part of the County of Stanley, with a total area of 38.1 km² and a population of 51,174.
The City of Redcliffe included the following suburbs:
Caboolture Division was created on 11 November 1879 as one of 74 divisions around Queensland under the Divisional Boards Act 1879. It was centred on Caboolture, which was at that time a small logging town, and initially covered all of Moreton Bay and much of the Sunshine Coast, but by 1890 had shrunk considerably with the separate incorporation of the Pine Division (21 January 1888),Redcliffe Division (5 April 1888) and Maroochy Division (5 July 1890).
Redcliffe Division became the Shire of Redcliffe on 31 March 1903 after the Local Authorities Act 1902 was enacted. On 28 May 1921 it became the Town of Redcliffe. on 13 June 1959 it became City of Redcliffe.
On 27 June 2007 the Queensland Government's Local Government Reform Commission recommended the City of Redcliffe merge with neighbouring Shire of Pine Rivers and Shire of Caboolture, to become the Moreton Bay Region. This came into effect on 15 March 2008, under the Local Government (Reform Implementation) Act 2007 passed by the Parliament of Queensland on 10 August 2007.
