History
Stirling was established in 1871 as the Perth Road District under the District Roads Act 1871. The district at that time included what are now the Wanneroo, Joondalup, Bayswater and Belmont.
With the passage of the Local Government Act 1960, all road districts became shires effective from 1 July 1961. The Shire of Perth had a population of 84,000 in 1961. It was declared a city and renamed Stirling on 24 January 1971.
Wards
The city has been divided into seven wards, each of two councillors. Each councillor serves a four-year term, and half-elections are held every two years. The mayor is elected from among the councillors.
Stirling (/ˈstɜːrlɪŋ/; Scots:Stirlin; Scottish Gaelic:Sruighlea[ˈs̪t̪ruʝlə]) is a city in central Scotland. The city is clustered around a large fortress and medieval old town. Stirling is the administrative centre for the Stirling council area, and is traditionally the county town of Stirlingshire. The city is located several miles to the west of the mouth of the River Forth. Historically it was strategically important as the "Gateway to the Highlands", with its position near the Highland Boundary Fault between the Scottish Lowlands and Highlands and has been described as the brooch which clasps the Highlands and the Lowlands together.
Its historical position as the nearest crossing of the Forth to the river mouth meant that it attracted invaders. The beast of Stirling is the wolf, which it shares with Rome. According to legend, when Stirling was under attack from Viking invaders, a wolf howled, alerting the townspeople in time to save the town.
Stirling is a historic mansion located at Reading, Berks County, Pennsylvania. It was built between 1890 and 1892, and is a three-story, 24-room, Châteauesque style dwelling. It was designed by noted Philadelphia architect Theophilus Parsons Chandler, Jr. (1845-1928) and built for industrialist James Hervey Sternbergh. It is constructed of squared graniteashlar and features a number of eclectic decorative elements including tall chimneys with decorated caps, a balustradedverandah, steeply pitched gable roofs, and roof dormers. It is now occupied by a bed and breakfast.
1983-1997: Stirling District except the electoral division of Carseland.
1997-2005: The Stirling District electoral divisions of Bannockburn, Castle, Dounebraes, Menteith, Queensland, St Ninians, Strathendrick, Viewforth, and Wallace.
2005–present: The Stirling council area.
The constituency covers the whole of the Stirling council area. Most of the area is rural, which has tended to vote Conservative, but there are some large towns in the East, most notably Stirling itself, which used to vote Labour, but has now moved towards SNP. A similar constituency, also called Stirling, is used by the Scottish Parliament.
History
The area covered by the modern constituency was first represented in the British House of Commons in consequence of the Act of Union 1707 in 1708. The county town of Stirling was represented as part of Stirling Burghs and the county was represented by Stirlingshire, each returning one member.
The City of Stirling is an exciting hub of activity with many things to see and do, just 10 minutes north of the Perth CBD. The City is famous for its beautiful beaches and glorious sunsets and Scarborough and Trigg are renowned as Perth’s most popular surfing spots. Mettams Pool, North Beach and Watermans Bay offer crystal clear waters ideal for swimming and snorkelling, and all beaches are connected with easy pedestrian and cycle paths.
The Scarborough foreshore is a vibrant stretch of coastline featuring promenades, playgrounds, a climbing wall, amphitheatre and a world class skate bowl. It boasts Western Australia’s only beachside pool which is geothermally heated so it can be enjoyed all year round.
When it comes to accommodation, there are plenty of options to suit every budget in ...
