Central Highlands Regional Council is based on the administrative centre of Emerald, supporting 16 regional centres across an area of 60,000km2. The population of the region is in the order of 30,000 residents however regional centres vary significantly in size, from Comet with a population of 51 to the major regional centre of Emerald with a population of 14,700.

Council is tasked with the provision of both urban and rural services across this large region and numerous townships. Services include: road construction; maintenance works; water supply and sewerage systems; parks and gardens services; administrative, regulatory and community services and a range of other responsibilities including natural disaster management and solid waste services to name just a few.

The organisation was formed following amalgamation of Councils in 2008 and many of the facilities pre-existed this time and many delivery processes were formed in the current configuration at the time of amalgamation based on prior practices. 

Council aims to develop a compliance strategy for quarries and gravel pits throughout the Central Highlands Regional Council as the first step of a broad review of Council’s gravel production operations which will follow in future projects.
