The Livingstone Shire is a Local Government Area located in Central Queensland, Australia. The shire covers an area of 11,775 square kilometres, and has a population of approximately 28,000. The administrative centre is the town of Yeppoon.
Major population centres of the shire include Yeppoon, Emu Park, Keppel Sands, Cawarral, Byfield, Marlborough, and Great Keppel Island. The shire has many residents who commute to nearby Rockhampton.
Industry within the shire is diverse. Timber is harvested from extensive pine plantations near Byfield in the north. Significant pineapple production takes place within the shire, as well as other agricultural crops. Tourism is increasingly becoming a mainstay of the area, with Keppel Bay and the nearby islands a major drawcard.
The Shoalwater Bay Military Training Area is also located within the shire.
The shire was established on 8 August 1903.[1]
