List of mayors of Stirling


The City of Stirling in Perth, Western Australia was originally established on 12 February 1871 as the Perth 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. The Shire of Perth was declared a city and renamed Stirling on 24 January 1971.
The method of electing the Mayor was changed in 2017, after a referendum on the issue at the October 2017 council election. Starting in 2019, the Mayor was elected at elections by residents, as opposed to the previous system, where the Mayor is elected by councillors at a meeting following each election.
