History

Vera Gibson and her family founded the newspaper in 1937.[3][4][5]

In May 2020, News Corp announced that the Central Queensland News would be one of many of its regional newspapers to stop publishing the print edition, and move to an exclusively-online format, with local news continuing to be delivered on the website to readers who paid for an online subscription.[6][7]

The final print edition of the Central Queensland News was published on 26 June 2020.[1]
