The Shire of Coolgardie acknowledges the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder’s (CKB) recent release of its Draft Submission to the Local Government Advisory Board – Boundary Change to the media earlier this week and subsequently printed in the Kalgoorlie Miner on 5 November 2025 (City up for Taking on Shire, 5 November 2025).
Shire President, Cr Paul Wilcox stated, “the information contained in CKB’s draft submission does not represent any change in the Minister’s stance over the next 12 months and bears no consequence on the Shire’s plan of action moving forward.”
The Shire of Coolgardie publicly released its Position Paper in July 2025, outlining its strong opposition to the proposed boundary adjustment. That position remains unchanged, and the Shire continues to stand firmly by the contents and intent of that document.
Community members are encouraged to learn more about the Shire’s financial recovery progress and future direction by reading the following documents.
