The City of Swan is a local government area of Western Australia, in the eastern metropolitan region of Perth. It is named after the Swan River which traverses most of the City's urban area.

Swan is centred approximately 20 km north-east of the Perth central business district. It covers 42 suburbs and localities across an area of 1,042 km2, making it the largest metropolitan LGA by area. It had an estimated population of 155,653 in 2020.[3]

The historic, administrative, commercial and industrial centre of Swan is Midland, a satellite city and strategic metropolitan centre of Perth. Other key areas of the City include the historic colonial town of Guildford, the Swan Valley tourism and winery region and the new town of Ellenbrook.

History

[edit]

The City of Swan is the modern-day descendant of the Swan Road District, founded in 1871. The current organisation was created on 20 February 1970 as the Shire of Swan, after the forced amalgamation of the Shire of Swan-Guildford and the Town of Midland.

The Shire gained 'City' status on 25 April 2000.[4]

On 1 July 2016 the portion of Noranda north of Widgee Road was transferred to the City of Bayswater.[5]
