History

The Wiluna Road Board was gazetted in 1909. On 1 July 1961, it became a shire following changes to the Local Government Act. On 1 July 1993, the eastern half of the Shire abutting the State's border with the Northern Territory was incorporated as the Shire of Ngaanyatjarraku.[2]

The shire is predominantly mining and pastoral land. There are 27 pastoral leases within the shire; 15 of which are owned by families or pastoral companies, ten of which are owned by mining companies, two are owned by the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC). Both of the stations that are owned by the DEC are destocked and run as nature reserved, many of the leases owned by mining companies have also been destocked.[3]

Wards

The Shire is no longer divided into wards and the seven councillors sit at large.
