History[]

The Serpentine–Jarrahdale Road District was established on 8 August 1913 with the amalgamation of the Serpentine Road District (1894) and Jarrahdale Road District (1902).[3][4][5]

On 1 July 1961, it became a Shire following the passage of the Local Government Act 1960, which reformed all remaining road districts into shires. On 17 June 1977, it acquired Byford from Shire of Armadale-Kelmscott.[3]

Wards[]

The Shire was previously split into four wards named: Byford, Central, North West and South. Recently, the boundaries were realigned and on 29 July 2011, the gazetted[6] boundaries became:

  • North (4 councillors)
  • North West (2 councillors)
  • Southern (3 councillors)

Elections to fill all positions in these new wards were called for 15 October 2011.
