Hervey Bay is a local government area within Queensland, part of a
Federation of six States and two Territories that form the Commonwealth
of Australia. Under the Constitution, the State Parliament takes
responsibility for domestic affairs and shares some national
responsibilities with the Commonwealth Government while the
Commonwealth Government is responsible for national and international
issues. The Local Government Act allows cities, towns and shires to
provide a system of government to their local areas.
Every three years a Census of the people is undertaken to gather statistics for use by government and business.
Administered locally by the Hervey Bay City Council
(Municipal), many regional Queensland (State) and
Commonwealth (Federal) Government offices are located in Hervey Bay and
Maryborough.
Information about these agencies may be located by searching Telstra White Pages or visiting their homepage. State and Federal Acts may be found by searching the Austii database
