History


The Wiluna Road District was gazetted on 29 October 1909, largely formed out of part of the abolished Nannine Road District. On 1 July 1961, it became a shire following the passage of the Local Government Act 1960, which reformed all road districts into shires. On 1 July 1993, the eastern half of the Shire abutting the State's border with the Northern Territory was incorporated as the Shire of Ngaanyatjarraku.[2][3]

The shire is predominantly mining and pastoral land. There are 27 pastoral leases within the shire; 15 of which are owned by families or pastoral companies, ten of which are owned by mining companies, two are owned by the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC). Both of the stations that are owned by the DEC are destocked and run as nature reserves; many of the leases owned by mining companies have also been destocked.[4]


Wards


The Shire is no longer divided into wards and the seven councillors sit at large.
