Contents
The Broomehill Road Board was gazetted in 1892. On 1 July 1961, it became a shire following changes to the Local Government Act. On 1 July 2008, after ten months of planning and preparation, it merged with the neighbouring Shire of Broomehill 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.
