Electoral Ward Boundaries

The Shire of Esperance is divided into two wards, a Town and a Rural ward.

Following a recent review of Wards and Representation, an adjustment to these Wards has been approved and will take effect from the 2023 local government elections. The proposed ward boundaries are available here.

A comparison between the current wards and proposed wards is available here, with the darker green section being those properties which are moving to the Rural Ward.
