In January 2019, it was decided to reduce the number of localities within Longreach Region by amalgamating the localities to the north and west of the town of Longreach into the locality of Longreach. The localities amalgamated were: Camoola, Chorregon, Ernestina, Maneroo, Morella, Tocal, and Vergemont.{{Cite web|url=https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/land/title/place-names/proposals-decisions/decisions#17-050|title=Recent place name decisions: Job number 17-050: Longreach|publisher=Queensland Government|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190728203832/https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/land/title/place-names/proposals-decisions/decisions|archive-date=28 July 2019|url-status=usurped|access-date=29 July 2019}} As a consequence of this amalgamation, the Longreach Region has only three localities: Longreach, Ilframcombe and Isisford.{{Queensland Globe|accessdate=28 July 2019}}
