History[edit]


In 1871, the York Road District and the Municipality of York were gazetted as two separate entities. On 1 July 1961, they became respectively the Shire of York and the Town of York under the Local Government Act 1960. The two entities merged on 15 March 1965.[2]



Wards[edit]


The council was previously split into three wards - Town (4 councillors), West (2 councillors) and East (3 councillors) - but these were abolished and an election for 6 councillors for the entire Shire was held on 6 May 2006.
