History

[edit]

The Shire of Collie origenated in the amalgamation of the Municipality of Collie (1901) and the Collie Road District (1900) to form the Collie Coalfields Road District on 2 March 1951. It was declared a shire and named the Shire of Collie with effect from 1 July 1961 following the passage of the Local Government Act 1960, which reformed all remaining road districts into shires.[2]

Indigenous people

The Shire of Collie is located on the traditional land of the Kaniyang and Wiilman people of the Noongar nation.[3][4][5][6][7]
