City Councillor lists

See also the previous organisations: Town Trust, Town Council,  Municipal Council.

Fremantle became a city in the centenary year 1929. These are lists of councillors since then, beginning with Ewers' list.

See below for councils by year, 1973-2015 (most years).

1929–70

John K. Ewers, 1971, The Western Gateway: A History of Fremantle, Fremantle City Council, with UWAP, rev. ed. [1st ed. 1948] Appendix 8: 217-218:

After 1970

List of councillors whose terms finished, or started, after 1970 — i.e. continuing from Ewers' list above, to 1983.

This is typed by me from a list in the Fremantle Library, with the odd correction. It is not complete, only going up to the early 1980s, and could contains errors.

HE Long, 1948-74 WJ Hughes, 1952-73 JJ Sowden, 1958-79 RJ Staples, 1961-73 CP Rule, 1961-62, 1968-73 EK Fletcher, 1963-77 RE Higham, 1963-78 WA McKenzie, 1965-72 AR McKenzie, 1967- 71 FW Notley, 1967-75 OFE Stack, 1967-77 SM Stone, 1967-78

Councillors by year

The following lists of councillors were typed by me from my photographs of photocopied separate sheets in a manila folder in the Fremantle Library. I haven't done a thorough job of carefully identifying each sheet, and also some years are missing. In many cases there are more than one datasets for a given year, in which case I have included both as one, with names separated by a / . ... But it seems there is no summary list like this held in the Council offices, and this might have to do for the time being, until someone else does a better job.

Having worked from this list in 2019 to make the separate lists for councillors by ward, it seems increasingly likely that I've made errors of various kinds - as well as the list having obvious gaping omissions. I can only repeat that I am not aware of anything better being available online, so, until it is and someone lets me know, I'll have to leave this shemozzle here. I apologise to all the former councillors in relation to whom I may have made mistakes.

The lists 1973-2007 below are as described above. From 2015 onwards they have been typed by me from current records, and I take the responsibility for their accuracy. I seem to have omitted 1991, for some reason.\
