History
Historically the area was part of the North Perth municipality, gazetted in 1901, which was absorbed into the City of Perth in 1915 after becoming unsustainable as an autonomous political entity. In 1993 the Government of Western Australia decided to split up the local government area (LGA) of the City of Perth, creating three additional LGAs and retaining a smaller City of Perth. The new LGAs were Town of Vincent, Town of Cambridge and the Town of Victoria Park.[3]
In October 2020, the Town won an injunction against the state government's efforts to suspend the Council due to suspicions about interference in Town administration. This was the first time a local government in Western Australia successfully challenged ministerial authority to suspend a Council.[4]
