Road districts of Victoria (Australia) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Road districts of Victoria (Australia) Road districts were established in the colony of Victoria, Australia pursuant to legislation passed in 1853, and were an early form of local government in Victoria. The districts were outside towns which were instead incorporated either as municipalities or boroughs. Road districts were established after public meetings to discuss boundaries etc. followed by a petition to the Governor. Upon the proclamation of a district a public meeting was held to elect officers of the Road Board. The board was responsible for the building and maintenance of local roads and bridges and raised finance from rates levied on landowners. From 1862 many road districts became shires, pursuant to the ''District Councils Bill 1862'', with additional responsibilities related to pounds, slaughtering licences, thistles, dogs, licensed publicans, brewer's and spirit merchants' licences, and commons. They were also permitted to borrow money for permanent works.〔''(The progress of Victoria: A statistical essay (Intercolonial Exhibition essays, 1866-67) )'' by William Henry Archer.
