Local government area in Western Australia
The Shire of Morawa is a local government area in the Mid West region of Western Australia , about 170 kilometres (106 mi ) east-southeast of the city of Geraldton and about 390 kilometres (242 mi ) north of the state capital, Perth . The Shire covers an area of 3,516 square kilometres (1,358 sq mi ), and its seat of government is the town of Morawa .
History [ edit ]
The Shire of Morawa originated as the Morawa Road District , established on 27 April 1928 when the Perenjori-Morawa Road District (which had separated from the Upper Irwin Road District in 1916), split into separate Morawa and Perenjori road districts.[2]
On 1 July 1961, Morawa became a shire following the passage of the Local Government Act 1960 , which reformed all remaining road districts into shires.[2]
On 18 September 2009, the Shires of Mingenew, Three Springs , Morawa and Perenjori announced their intention to amalgamate. A formal agreement was signed five days later, and the name Billeranga was later chosen.[3] [4] [5]
The Shire is no longer divided into wards and the seven councillors sit at large. Prior to the 1997 election, the Shire was divided into wards:
Town Ward (three councillors)
Central Ward (two councillors)
North Ward (two councillors)
South Ward (two councillors)
Pintharuka Ward (two councillors)
