List of mayors of Gosnells

This is a list of mayors of the City of Gosnells in Perth, Western Australia, and its predecessors.

Gosnells Road District, with a chairman and councillors, was established on 26 April 1907 under the Municipal Corporations Act 1906. Its land area had formerly been part of the Canning Road District, which was abolished due to squabbling between its rural and urban sections. The first elections were held on 1 June 1907. 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 1973, the Shire of Gosnells became the Town of Gosnells, with a mayor and councillors, and on 1 July 1977 it became a City.[1]
