History
The Borough of Queenscliffe was established in May 1863.
Queenscliffe is the last borough remaining in both Victoria and all of Australia and was the only LGA to escape change in the mass Victorian municipal restructuring which took place in 1994. Had the same restructuring principles which applied elsewhere in the state also been applied to Queenscliffe, the borough would have been absorbed into the new City of Greater Geelong.
