Bulli Shire was proclaimed on 7 March 1906, one of 134 shires created after the passing of the Local Government (Shires) Act 1905.[3]

The shire offices were in Bulli.[4] Other urban areas in the shire included Austinmer, Helensburgh and Woonona.[5][6][7]

The shire was amalgamated with the then Municipality of Wollongong, Municipality of North Illawarra and Shire of Central Illawarra, to form a Municipality of Greater Wollongong, which was at the same time proclaimed as the City of Greater Wollongong, on 24 September 1947.[8]
