The Shire of Pingelly is a local government area in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, about 160km (100miles) southeast of the state capital, Perth, between the Shires of Brookton and Cuballing along the Great Southern Highway. The Shire covers an area of 1295km2, and its seat of government is the town of Pingelly.
On 24 December 1891, the Morambine Road District was created. On 21 February 1913, it was renamed the Pingelly Road District. On 1 July 1961, it became a Shire following the passage of the Local Government Act 1960, which reformed all remaining road districts into shires.[1]
From 20 October 2007, Pingelly is no longer divided into wards, and its 8 councillors represent the entire shire.
The ward systems created under successive divisions were as follows:[1]
