The Kondinin Road District was gazetted on 15 May 1925, separating the district from the Roe Road District with effect from 1 July in that year.[2][3] The first election was held on 5 September 1925, with the first meeting taking place seven days later.[4][5]
It was declared a shire with effect from 1 July 1961 following the passage of the Local Government Act 1960, which reformed all remaining road districts into shires.[2]
The shire was previously divided into four wards; however, these were abolished in 2004. All eight councillors sit at large.
