History
Gnowangerup was initially gazetted as the Gnowangerup Road District on 26 January 1912, taking in territory that had been part of the Broomehill and Tambellup road districts. On 23 June 1961, it became a shire following the passage of the Local Government Act 1960, which reformed all remaining road districts into shires. On 4 June 1982, the eastern half of the Gnowangerup shire was excised to form the Shire of Jerramungup.[2]
Indigenous people
The Shire of Gnowangerup is located on the traditional land of the Koreng people of the Noongar nation.[3][4]
Wards
In 1999 the Shire was divided into four wards:
- Borden Ward (two councillors)
- Gnowangerup Ward (three councillors)
- Ongerup Ward (two councillors)
- Rural Ward (two councillors)
Since 2007, when the ward system was discontinued, all councillors have been elected at large from the Gnowangerup district.[5]
The Shire President is chosen from amongst the councillors.
