 the Shire of Belyando;
 the Shire of Broadsound (taking its name from Broad Sound);
 and the Shire of Nebo. The report recommended that the new local government area should not be divided into wards and should elect eight councillors and a mayor. The Isaac Regional Council covers an area of , had a population in 2018 of 20,934 and an operating budget of A$46.0m. The region takes its name from the Isaac River, which in turn takes its name from Queensland pioneer Frederick Isaac who accompanied the explorer Ludwig Leichhardt on his first expedition.
