History edit

The Beverley Road District was proclaimed on 24 January 1871.[2] It was initially far larger on its eastern and southern sides than the present shire, extending east to the colonial border.[3]

The township of Beverley itself was separated as the Municipality of Beverley on 31 March 1892 and the East Beverley Road District separated on 18 October 1895.[2][4]

The Brookton Road District was separated from Beverley on 26 April 1906.[5] However, on 27 April 1906, the East Beverley district was abolished, partially re-absorbed into Beverley and partially into the new Brookton board.[2][6]

The Municipality of Beverley was re-absorbed into the road district on 4 April 1913.[2]

It was declared a shire and named the Shire of Beverley with effect from 1 July 1961 following the passage of the Local Government Act 1960, which reformed all remaining road districts into shires.[2]

Wards edit

The Shire is divided into three wards, which became effective on 2 May 1987.[7]

  • North Ward (three councillors)
  • West Ward (three councillors)
  • South Ward (three councillors)

Prior to 1986, the Shire was represented by eight councillors across four wards which had existed in some form since the amalgamation of the Municipal District in 1913:[2]

  • Kokeby Ward
  • North East Ward
  • Central Ward
  • Dale Ward
