The Town of Bassendean in Perth, Western Australia was established as the West Guildford Road District, with a chairman and councillors, on 10 May 1901 under the District Roads Act 1871. It was renamed Bassendean on 7 July 1922. With the passage of the Local Government Act 1960, all road districts became Shires, with a president and councillors, effective 1 July 1961. On 1 July 1975, the Shire of Bassendean became the Town of Bassendean, with a mayor and councillors.[1][2][3]: 38
