History

Leonora was originally part of the North Coolgardie Road District when that entity was gazetted in 1898. The town of Leonora was gazetted as a municipality with its own mayor in 1900. In 1912, the North Coolgardie Road District was dissolved and the Mount Malcolm, Kookynie and Menzies Road Districts were formed.

Mount Malcolm absorbed the Municipality of Leonora on 1 July 1917 and became the Leonora-Mount Malcolm Road District.[2] In 1929, a neighbouring district, Lawlers, was dissolved and split between Mount Margaret (later Laverton) and Leonora-Mount Malcolm, which was renamed to simply Leonora a year later. On 1 July 1961, it became the Shire of Leonora under the Local Government Act 1960.[3]

Wards

As of the 2003 election, the Shire is divided into two wards:

  • North Ward (four councillors)
  • South Ward (five councillors)

From 1979 until 2003, the Shire was divided into Leonora (3), Leinster (4) and Country (2) wards.
