History

In 1871, the Albany Municipal Council was gazetted, and in 1896 the Albany Road Board followed. On 1 July 1961, they became respectively the Town and Shire Councils following changes to the Local Government Act.

On 1 July 1998, the two councils amalgamated to form the City of Albany.

Wards

The city has been divided into 7 wards, each of two councillors. Each councillor serves a four-year term, and half-elections are held every two years. The mayor is directly elected.
