The Shire of Central Illawarra, also known as Central Illawarra Shire was a local government area in New South Wales, Australia. Until 1934, it was the Municipality of Central Illawarra. From 1868 to 1934,[1] it was the Borough of Central Illawarra. Before 1868, it was the Municipality of Central Illawarra, which was established in 1859.[1][2][3] It covered the area from Unanderra to Macquarie Rivulet, and had its council chambers at Unanderra.
The shire was amalgamated with the then-Municipality of Wollongong, Bulli Shire, and Municipality of North Illawarra, to form a Municipality of Greater Wollongong, which was at the same time proclaimed as the City of Greater Wollongong, on 24 September 1947.[4]
The former council chambers building has been repurposed, first as a library and later as a community centre.[5]
