List of mayors of Wanneroo
Encyclopedia
This is a list of mayors, presidents and chairmen of the City of Wanneroo in Perth
, Western Australia
, and its predecessors..
Wanneroo was originally established on 31 October 1902 as a road board with a chairman and councillors under the Roads Boards Act 1871. With the passage of the Local Government Act 1960, all road boards became Shires with a shire president and councillors effective 1 July 1961. On 19 July 1985, Wanneroo attained City status, and the Shire President became a Mayor.
The City was then split in 1998 with the southwestern section becoming the City of Joondalup
and the remainder forming a reduced Shire of Wanneroo. It re-attained City status on 18 June 1999. As this was before the local government elections to elect a mayor and councillors, the second incarnation of the Shire did not have a Shire President.
