The City of Melville is a local government area in the southern suburbs of the Western Australian capital city of Perth, east of the port city of Fremantle and about 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) south of Perth's central business district. The City covers an area of 52.73 square kilometres (20.36 sq mi) and had a population of about 98,000 as at the 2016 Census.

History

Melville was originally established on 14 December 1900 as the East Fremantle Road District under the Roads Boards Act 1871. It was renamed the Melville Road District six months later on 14 June 1901. On 20 July 1923, it received a large amount of land from Jandakot Road District when that entity was abolished.[3]

On 1 July 1961, it became the Shire of Melville following the enactment of the Local Government Act 1960, which reformed all remaining road districts into shires. It was granted town status as the Town of Melville on 28 September 1962,[4] and assumed its current name when it was granted city status on 3 May 1968.[5]

The City of Melville maintains 463 km of roads and 2.10 km² of parks and gardens.

Wards

The City is divided into six wards, each represented by two councillors. Each councillor serves a four-year term, and half-elections are held every two years. The mayor is directly elected.

  • Applecross-Mount Pleasant Ward
  • Bateman-Kardinya-Murdoch Ward
  • Bicton-Attadale-Alfred Cove Ward
  • Bull Creek-Leeming Ward

  • Palmyra-Melville-Willagee Ward
