Subject: local shire
Piano Hill has an agreement with the LOCAL SHIRE that weeds on their roadsides will not be sprayed, so that contamination of their land can be avoided.

LOCAL SHIRE - местное графство? (речь идёт об Австралии)

Спасибо!

думаю, ляжет "местные власти" или "муниципальные службы"

Shire is the most common word in Australia for the smallest local government areas by population. The states of New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia use shire for this unit. South Australia and Tasmania use district. A shire has the same powers as the next largest units, the town and city. In NSW, the expression 'The Shire' commonly refers to the Sutherland shire.
