Gosnells Road Board was created out of the abolished Canning Road Board on 1 July 1907. In 1923, it received land from Jandakot Road Board when that entity was abolished. In 1955, it was renamed to the Cockburn Road Board.

On 1 July 1961, Gosnells Road Board became a Shire Council following changes to the Local Government Act. On 1 July 1973 it became a Town and exactly four years later it attained City status.[1]

The city has been divided into 3 wards, each of 4 councillors. The mayor is directly elected.
