History

In the years immediately after discovery of gold in the region, a variety of local government entities sprang up around the often-temporary settlements on the Kalgoorlie goldfields. Only three persisted beyond the early 20th century:

  • Boulder Municipal Council (1897–1961) - later Town of Boulder (1961-1969)
  • Kalgoorlie Roads Board (1896–1961) - later Shire of Kalgoorlie (1961-1969)
  • Kalgoorlie Municipal Council (1895–1961) - later Town of Kalgoorlie (1961-1989)
  • Shire of Boulder (1969-1989)

The others were:

  • Broad Arrow Municipal Council (1897–1903)
  • Broad Arrow Roads Board (1899–1922)
  • Broad Arrow-Paddington Municipal Council (1903–1910)
  • Bulong Municipal Council (1896–1909)
  • Bulong Roads Board (1899–1911)
  • East Coolgardie Roads Board (1895–1897)
  • Kanowna Municipal Council (1896–1917)
  • North East Coolgardie Roads Board (1896–1922)
