Have your say on changes to local government boundaries and amalgamations The state government has outlined major changes to local governments by 2015. THE state government this week forecast major changes to metropolitan council boundaries. The number of local governments will shrink from 30 to 14 by 2015, infuriating council mayors. Nine new super-councils will be formed, despite Premier Colin Barnett saying during the March election campaign said that his government would not support forced amalgamations. Here are the key changes: • The City of South Perth and the Town of Victoria Park to combine. • The City of Cockburn and the City of Kwinana to merge. • The City of Melville to take over Fremantle and East Fremantle • The City of Armadale will form with the Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale. • Bayswater and Bassendean will amalgamate. • The City of Swan will take in the Shire of Mundaring • The City of Canning will merge with the City of Gosnells • City of Belmont and the Shire of Kalamunda to join. • Western suburb cities Nedlands and Subiaco will merge with the towns of Cambridge, Claremont, Cottesloe, Mosman Park and Peppermint Grove plus North Fremantle, Wembley Downs and Churchlands.
