History edit

The City of Karratha originated as the Roebourne Road District, which was established on 6 January 1887. The towns of Roebourne and Cossack were both excised as their own municipalities on 1 December 1887, forming the Municipality of Roebourne and Municipality of Cossack. As the region's population declined, both the Roebourne and Cossack municipalities merged back into the road district in 1910, Roebourne on 11 March and then Cossack on 13 August.[5]

On 1 July 1961, it became the Shire of Roebourne under the Local Government Act 1960.[5] On 1 July 2014 it was granted city status and renamed the City of Karratha.[3][4]

Wards edit

The city is divided into eleven wards:[6]

  • Karratha (eight councillors)
  • Dampier (one councillors)
  • Wickham-Point Samson-Roebourne-Cossack-Pastoral (two councillors)
