The Shire of Korumburra was a local government area located about 115 kilometres (71 mi) southeast of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia. The shire covered an area of 613.8 square kilometres (237.0 sq mi), and existed from 1891 until 1994.

History

Originally part of the Shire of Buln Buln, Korumburra was first incorporated as the Shire of Poowong and Jeetho on 29 May 1891. Its boundaries were initially fairly flexible, as it annexed parts of the Warragul and Woorayl Shires, settling on its final boundaries by 1912. It was renamed Korumburra on 25 October 1922.[2]

On 2 December 1994, the Shire of Korumburra was abolished, and, along with the Shires of Mirboo and South Gippsland, and parts of the Shire of Woorayl, was merged into the new South Gippsland Shire. The Wattle Bank, Lance Creek and Lang Lang South districts in the west were transferred into the newly created Bass Coast Shire.[3]
