EspañolCITY OF SWAN
(Redirected from Swan, Western Australia)
The City of 'Swan' is a Local Government Area of Western Australia. It is located in Perth's north-eastern metropolitan region and the Swan Valley, centred approximately 20 km north-east of the Perth Central business district (CBD). The City covers an area of 1,043 km² (much of which is uninhabited) and has a population of about 85,000. At the 2001 census, 10% of the population were born in the United Kingdom, while significant Southern European and South-East Asian minorities are also located here.
The City of Swan began as three entities:
★ Guildford Municipal Council was gazetted in 1871.
★ Helena Vale Municipal Council was gazetted in 1895, and became Midland Junction Municipal Council in 1901.
★ Swan Road Board was gazetted in 1871.
On 1 July 1961, the Guildford and Swan areas merged into the Shire of Swan-Guildford, while Midland became the Town of Midland. They united on 1 April 1970 as the Shire of Swan, and exactly thirty years later, on 1 April 2000, became the City of Swan.[1]
The City of Swan is divided into 8 wards, most of which have only one councillor:
★ Altone Ward (3 councillors)
★ Ballajura Ward (3 councillors)
★ Midland Ward (3 councillors)
★ Ellenbrook
★ Swan Valley Gidgegannup (2 Councillors)
★ Guildford
★ North Ward
