The City of Wanneroo in Perth, Western Australia was originally established on 31 October 1902 as a road board with a chairman and councillors under the Roads Boards Act 1871.
With the passage of the Local Government Act 1960, all road boards became Shires with a shire president and councillors effective 1 July 1961.
On 19 July 1985, Wanneroo attained City status, and the Shire president became a mayor.
[1] The City was then split in 1998 with the southwestern section becoming the City of Joondalup and the remainder forming a reduced Shire of Wanneroo.
The current mayor of the City of Wanneroo is Linda Aitken, who was elected to the position in September 2022.
