History


The Serpentine Road District was gazetted in December 1894, and in 1913 changed name to Serpentine-Jarrahdale Road District. On 1 July 1961, it became a Shire following the enactment of the Local Government Act 1960. In 1977, it acquired Byford from Shire of Armadale-Kelmscott.[2]



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[3] 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.
