History[edit]
The Williams Road District was created in 1871 as one of the first regional local government areas in Western Australia. On 1 July 1961 it became a shire following the enactment of the Local Government Act 1960.[2]
Wards[edit]
Until 2002, the Shire was divided into 3 wards - North West (1), North East (1) and Central (3). On 3 May 2003 all wards were abolished and councillors sit at large.
