Parliament of WA Web - Royal Commissions

This list of Royal Commissions and Honorary Royal Commissions held in Western Australia draws on various sources, including the State Records Office and Tabled Papers, appended to the Votes and Proceedings/Minutes of the houses. A set of Votes and Proceedings is available at The State Library. The period commences from 1871 to the present day. It is not a comprehensive list and additional reports will be added as found. Where feasible, a copy of the Royal Commission or Honorary Royal Commission has been scanned or a reference has been provided to make access easier. The collection also includes commissions that are not named Royal Commission, e.g. The Jetty Commission. Also some documents are added that are relevant to Royal Commissions, e.g. plans. This is a working document that is regularly revised. Your feedback would be appreciated.
