The Shire of Waroona is a local government area in the Peel region of Western Australia between Mandurah and Harvey and about 110 kilometres (68 mi) south of Perth, the state capital. The Shire covers an area of about 835 km² (322 mi²) and its seat of government is the town of Waroona.

History

The district was originally controlled by the Murray Road Board (from 1887). In 1898, the Drakesbrook Road Board was gazetted. Years after the renaming of the town, on 19 May 1961, the Drakesbrook Road Board was abolished. It was to become the Waroona Road Board, but due to changes in the Local Government Act approved earlier in the year, it became the Waroona Shire Council on 1 July 1961 in line with many other councils.[2]

Wards

The shire no longer has wards, it is made up of eight councillors who represent the whole of the Shire.
