[edit] History

The Perenjori-Morawa Road Board was gazetted in 1916 on land previously managed by the Upper Irwin Road Board. In April 1928, the entity split in two, creating the Shire of Perenjori and the Shire of Morawa. On 1 July 1961, it became a Shire Council following changes to the Local Government Act.[1]

  • Perenjori Ward (3 councillors)
