History


The Beverley Road District was proclaimed on 24 January 1871.[2] It was initially far larger on its eastern and southern sides than the present shire, extending east to the colonial border.[3]

The township of Beverley itself was separated as the Municipality of Beverley on 31 March 1892 and the East Beverley Road District separated on 18 October 1895.[2][4]

The Brookton Road District was separated from Beverley on 26 April 1906.[5] However, on 27 April 1906, the East Beverley district was abolished, partially re-absorbed into Beverley and partially into the new Brookton board.[2][6]

The Municipality of Beverley was re-absorbed into the road district on 4 April 1913.[2]

It was declared a shire and named the Shire of Beverley with effect from 1 July 1961 following the passage of the Local Government Act 1960, which reformed all remaining road districts into shires.[2]


Wards


The Shire is divided into three wards, which became effective on 2 May 1987.[7]

Prior to 1986, the Shire was represented by eight councillors across four wards which had existed in some form since the amalgamation of the Municipal District in 1913:[2]
