Shire of Broomehill
# Shire of Broomehill

The Shire of Broomehill was a local government area in the Great Southern region of Western Australia, about 20 kilometres (12 mi) south of Katanning and about 310 kilometres (193 mi) south-southeast of the state capital, Perth. The Shire covered an area of 1,173 square kilometres (453 sq mi), and its seat of government was the town of Broomehill.

## History

The Broomehill Road District was gazetted on 19 May 1892. On 1 July 1961, it became a shire following changes to the Local Government Act which reformed all remaining road boards into shires. On 1 July 2008, after ten months of planning and preparation, it merged with the neighbouring Shire of Tambellup 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.
