History

The area that is now Mandurah was part of the Murray Road District until 1949.

The City of Mandurah originated as the Mandurah Road District, established on 10 June 1949.[2] The road board held its first meeting on 1 September 1949. The board was suspended on 12 July 1956 by an Order in Council and the district was placed under the administration of Commissioner Richard Rushton, who ultimately served in the role for almost four years.[3]

It became the Shire of Mandurah on 1 July 1961 following the passage of the Local Government Act 1960, which reformed all remaining road districts into shires. It became the Town of Mandurah when it gained town status on 1 July 1987 and assumed its current name when it gained city status on 14 April 1990.[4]
