Originally the area was governed by the Meckering Road Board (now the neighbouring Shire of Cunderdin).
The Tammin Road District was gazetted on 18 June 1948. On 1 July 1961, it became a shire under the Local Government Act 1960, which reformed all remaining road districts into shires.[2]
The Shire has never had wards, and all six councillors sit at large. The Shire President is elected from amongst the councillors.
