History

In 1871, the Municipality of Bunbury was gazetted, and in 1899 the Bunbury Suburban Road District (which became the Bunbury Road District in 1908) followed. The two entities merged in 1950.

On 1 July 1961, the Municipality of Bunbury became a Town following the enactment of the Local Government Act 1960. In 1979 it attained City status.[2]

Wards

The town has 12 councillors and no wards. Each councillor serves a four-year term, and half-elections are held every two years. The mayor is directly elected.
