The City of Greater Geraldton is a local government area in the Mid West region of Western Australia, 424 kilometres (263 mi) north of the state capital, Perth on the Indian Ocean.

It covers an area of 12,625.5 square kilometres (4,874.7 sq mi), and its seat of government is the town of Geraldton.

[3] However, under the Local Government Act 1995 (clause 10 of Schedule 2.1) as the vote did not attract 50% of registered voters, it did not meet the requirements for a valid poll.

Ultimately, the plan did not succeed, but a number of local governments commenced negotiations for voluntary mergers.

[10] Prior to 2019, the city was divided into seven wards, each with two councillors, plus a directly elected mayor to serve the entire district.
