Municipality of Cue
municipality in Western Australia
The Municipality of Cue was a local government area in Western Australia centred on town of Cue.
The municipality was established on 30 May 1894. The first elections were held on 16 August 1894, with W. Hepburn Gale becoming the council's first chairman. The municipal council first met in the Cue Warden's Court on 24 September 1894.
In 1896, the municipality constructed the Cue Municipal Chambers to serve as their new headquarters. The state-heritage listed building was used by the municipality's successor institutions until 1980 and is now used as corporate offices.
The municipality's boundaries were expanded on 6 July 1904.
It ceased to exist on 11 October 1912, when along with the nearby Municipality of Day Dawn, it merged into the surrounding Cue Road District, which was in turn renamed the Cue-Day Dawn Road District. The Cue council supported the amalgamation.

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Municipality of Cue” as municipality in Western Australia. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as municipality in Western Australia. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 14, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q85787030. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1894, 1896, 1980 and 1904.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
