History


The Shire of Mingenew was initially constituted as the Upper Irwin Road District on 25 October 1901, over a much larger area. On 12 December 1919, it was renamed the Mingenew Road District.[2] Between 1923 and 1928, it lost 80% of its land area to the neighboring Perenjori-Morawa Road District and the new districts of Carnamah and Three Springs. By 1930, it had adopted roughly its present boundaries.

On 1 July 1961, it became a shire following the passage of the Local Government Act 1960, which reformed all remaining road districts into shires.[2]

On 18 September 2009, the Shires of Mingenew, Three Springs, Morawa and Perenjori announced their intention to amalgamate. A formal agreement was signed five days later, and the name Billeranga was later chosen.[3] However, by February 2011, community pressure had led to the negotiations stalling, and on 16 April 2011, voters from the Shire of Perenjori defeated the proposal at a referendum.[4][5]


Wards


Since 2005 the Shire has been divided into two wards. Prior to this, a five-ward system was in place with the Town Ward having three councillors and the remaining wards one each.
