Shire of Broomehill

1

The Shire of Broomehill was a local government area in the Great Southern region of Western Australia, about 20 km south of Katanning and about 310 km south-southeast of the state capital, Perth. The Shire covered an area of 1173 km2, and its seat of government was the town of Broomehill.

History

The Broomehill Road District was gazetted on 19 May 1892. On 1 July 1961, it became a shire following changes to the Local Government Act which reformed all remaining road boards into shires. On 1 July 2008, after ten months of planning and preparation, it merged with the neighbouring Shire of Tambellup to form the Shire of Broomehill-Tambellup.

Wards

The shire was originally divided into wards, but as at 2007, it was a single electorate with eight representative councillors.
