History


The Victoria Plains Road District was gazetted on 24 January 1871 covering an area extending as far north as Carnamah and east to the South Australian border.[2] These areas gradually obtained their own local government over the next 40 years.

The Melbourne Road District separated on 10 February 1887.[2]

On 11 December 1908, Moora Road District was gazetted and also separated.

As a result of the WA Local Government Act 1960, all remaining road districts became shires, including the Shire of Victoria Plains, on 1 July 1961.[2]


Wards


The shire is divided into four wards.
