The Bulimba Division was one of the original divisions created on 11 November 1879 under the Divisional Boards Act 1879.{{Gazette QLD|title=Proclamation [Bulimba Division]|volume=25|page=989|date=11 November 1879}} On 19 January 1888, the No. 1 subdivision of Bulimba Division was separated to create Balmoral Division.{{Gazette QLD | title=Proclamation [Balmoral Division] | volume = 43 | page = 171-172 | date = 21 January 1888}}{{cite web|title=Agency ID9638, Balmoral Divisional Board|url=http://www.archivessearch.qld.gov.au/Search/AgencyDetails.aspx?AgencyId=9638|publisher=Queensland State Archives|access-date=20 August 2013}}{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article3465849 |title=The Brisbane Courier. |newspaper=The Brisbane Courier |date=23 January 1888 |access-date=27 September 2013 |page=4 |publisher=National Library of Australia}}
On 17 March 1892, there was an alteration of boundaries. The Pritchard's Road land and gravel reserve (100 acres) were transferred from Kianawah Division (later renamed Wynnum Division) to Balmoral Division, while the Grassdale Estate land was transferred from Kianawah Division to Bulimba Division.{{Gazette QLD | title=Order in Council [Kianawah, Balmoral and Bulimba Divisions] | volume = 55 | page = 1049–1050 | date = 19 March 1892}}{{Gazette QLD | title=Order in Council [Kianawah, Balmoral and Bulimba Divisions] | volume = 57 | page = 632 | date = 29 October 1892}}
The Local Authorities Act 1902 replaced all Divisions with Towns and Shires, so the Balmoral Division became the Shire of Balmoral on 31 March 1903.{{cite web|title=Agency ID307, Balmoral Shire Council|url=http://www.archivessearch.qld.gov.au/Search/AgencyDetails.aspx?AgencyId=307|publisher=Queensland State Archives|access-date=20 August 2013}}
On 1 October 1925, the shire was amalgamated into the City of Brisbane.
