Laidley Shire Council is a Local Government Area in south east Queensland, Australia. The administrative centre of the shire is the town of Laidley. Other towns in the shire include Forest Hill, Glenore Grove, Mulgowie, Lockrose and Plainland.
Prior to European settlement, the area around Laidley was home to the Kitabul aboriginal tribe. On April 25, 1888, the division of Laidley was declared a separate Local Government area. In 1902, Laidley Town Council was created as a separate municipality, covering the township of Laidley only. In 1916 the Laidley Shire Area reabsorbed the Town Council.[1]
The shire had a population of 12,581 at the 2001 Census.[2]
