The Victoria Plains Shire was one of the original road districts proclaimed in Western Australia in 1871. In 1887, the district was changed to the Melbourne Road District, but reverted to Victoria Plains again in 1890. In 1961, the Road District became the Shire. The building was officially opened on 28 October 1966, by the Minister for Local Government, Mr Logan. Cost $27000. The new building reflected the status of the Shire area. The former building (on a different site) was sold to the CWA. The Council of 9 members from 4 wards meet in the Council Chambers monthly.
