History edit

The Serpentine-Jarrahdale Road District was established on 8 August 1913 with the amalgamation of the Serpentine Road District (1894) and Jarrahdale Road District (1902).[2][3][4]

On 1 July 1961, it became a Shire following the passage of the Local Government Act 1960, which reformed all remaining road districts into shires. On 17 June 1977, it acquired Byford from Shire of Armadale–Kelmscott.[2]

Following the 2021 Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale local government election, councillor for the North Ward, Rob Coales, led calls for an investigation into fraud during the election. The motion was passed unainmously.[5]

Demographics edit

From the 2021 census, the shire had a population of 32,173, with 2.9% being Indigenous. Compared to the national and state median age of 38, the shire's median was younger at 33.[6]

Council edit

Current composition and elections edit

The last election held in the shire was on 21 October 2023.[7] The election saw previous North ward councillor Rob Coales defeat incumbent Michelle Rich with 2,182 votes (69.8%).[8] Following the election, the council's current composition is shown below:[9][10]
