[edit] History

The Kondinin Road Board was formed from the portions of the Roe Road Board, Corrigin Road Board and Narembeen Road Board on 19 June 1925. The first election was held on 5 September 1925, with the first meeting taking place in the Kondinin Hall a week later. On 1 July 1961, it became the Shire Council following changes to the Local Government Act.[1]

The shire was previously divided into 4 wards, however these were abolished in 2004. All 8 councillors sit at large.
