The Town of Mosman Park is a Local Government Area of Western Australia. It covers an area of approximately 4.3 km² in western metropolitan Perth, the capital of Western Australia and lies about 14 km southwest of the Perth CBD and 5 km from Fremantle.

History

The Buckland Hill Road Board was gazetted in 1899. From 1909 until 1930, it was known as the Cottesloe Beach Road Board.

It was renamed to Mosman Park Road Board in 1937, and on 1 July 1961, became a Shire Council following changes to the Local Government Act. It became a town seven months later, and in 1997 the two wards were abolished. [WA Electoral Commission, "Municipality Boundary Amendments Register" (release 2.0), 31 May 2003.]
