[2]

In 1993, the new Kennett Liberal government announced a program of local government reform, in which many of Victoria's 210 councils were to be amalgamated. Jeffrey Gibb Kennett AC (born 2 March 1948 Australian politician was the Premier of Victoria from 1992 to 1999 The Liberal Party of Australia is an Australian political party. The southwest region containing 23 councils was the first to be reviewed, and the City of Warrnambool sought to be part of the process early on. Warrnambool's strength in tertiary education and manufacturing was taken into account. [3] By June, it was clear that Warrnambool would be the only municipality in the region to be spared, and that it would gain Allansford and some other rural areas from the Shire of Warrnambool. Allansford is a town in the Western District of Victoria, Australia.

Wards and structure

Prior to amalgamation, the council had four wards—Albert, Hopkins, Merri and Victoria—each of which elected three councillors. [2] The new council had seven wards with one councillor representing each ward.

Wards 1996-2004:

However, following an electoral representation review, the decision was made to keep the seven councillors but abolish wards. The review concluded that Warrnambool's geography and natural features did not support the creation of equal wards, and that the City of Warrnambool as a whole was a single community of interest.
