Town of Carnarvon

The Town of Carnarvon was a local government area in Western Australia.

Many council records were lost in 1960 when Jubilee Hall was badly damaged by a cyclone.

[2][3] In 1919, the council purchased the assets of the Carnarvon Electric Light and Power Company and took over the supply of electricity and lighting to the municipality, funded by a loan and an increase to the general rate.

[1] Politicians Edward Angelo, Cyril Cornish and Wilson Tuckey were former mayors of the Carnarvon municipality before their respective elections to state and federal parliament.
