The town covered an area of 25.85 square kilometres (10.0 sq mi), and existed from 1954 until 1994.

History

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

The town was originally on the western edge of the Shire of Rodney, but on 1 April 1954, it was severed and became a borough. On 4 July 1973, Kyabram became a town. The town annexed 7.31 square kilometres (2.82 sq mi) of land from the Shire of Rodney on 1 October 1991.[2]

On 18 November 1994, the Town of Kyabram was abolished, and, along with the City of Echuca and the Shires of Deakin, Rochester and Waranga, and a number of neighbouring districts, was merged into the newly created Shire of Campaspe.[3]

Wards

The Town of Kyabram was not divided into wards, and its nine councillors represented the entire town.
