On 17 April 2020 the Queensland Government reorganised the nine localities in the Shire, resulting in six localities by making the following changes:[2][3][4]
- Thargomindah, previously being the surrounding area around the town of Thargomindah, was enlarged through the incorporation of most of Bullawarra (except for a small portion in the south of Bullawarra), all of Dynevor and all of Norley.
- Bulloo Downs gained the small portion from the south of Bullawarra (the rest being incorporated into Thargomindah) and lost a small portion of its western land to the locality of Cameron Corner.
- Cameron Corner gained a small portion of land from the west of the Bulloo Downs.
- Nockatunga was renamed Noccundra after the only town in the locality.
There were no changes to the localities of Durham and Hungerford.[2][3][4]
