History

Originally the area was governed by the Meckering Road Board (now the neighbouring Shire of Cunderdin). In 1948, the Tammin Road District was gazetted, and on 1 July 1961, it became a shire under the Local Government Act 1960.

Wards

The Shire has never had wards, and all six councillors sit at large. The Shire President is elected from amongst the councillors.
