Shire of Peppermint Grove
The Shire of Peppermint Grove is a small local government area in western metropolitan Perth, the capital of Western Australia, between Mosman Park and Claremont about 12 km southwest of Perth's central business district. The Shire of Peppermint Grove, at 1.1 square kilometres (0.42 sq mi), is the smallest local government area in Australia.
Shire of Peppermint Grove History
From the Peppermint Grove Shire Council Website: https://www.peppermintgrove.wa.gov.au/
Peppermint Grove's long history goes back to 1835 when an innkeeper named John Butler was given a grant of land consisting of 150 acres along the north bank of the Swan River, the area now known as Peppermint Grove.
The land changed hands a number of times over the years, and in 1891, subdivision commenced when the land was purchased by a syndicate of George Leake, Charles Crossland and Alexander Forrest.
In its earlier days, Peppermint Grove was thickly wooded with tuarts, jarrahs, red gum, banksia, native pines, hollies and the beautiful peppermint trees which inspired its name. Brumbies roamed in the area, along with native cats, wallabies and an abundance of birds.
The subdivisions sold fast for between 7 and 12 pounds each (around $15 – $25) – an amount which is hard to comprehend today when vacant lots are selling for approximately up $3500 per square metre.
One of the earliest settlers was Edward Keane who later became Mayor of Perth. Another influential landowner was John Forrest, later to be Lord Forrest, Premier of Western Australia.
In 1895, after strong representations from residents, the area was gazetted a Road District, and the Peppermint Grove Road Board was established. Its main efforts were directed at providing essential roads and footpaths. The Road Board was the forerunner to the present Shire Council.
In those early days, the Premier of the day was at first reluctant to declare Peppermint Grove a Road District because of its small size, but the residents won through. Today, Peppermint Grove has the unique status of being the smallest municipality in Western Australia, covering just 1.5 square kilometres of land. From time to time, there have been calls for boundary change, but these have always been firmly rebuffed by residents.
The Shire has a population of over 1600, with a large proportion of residents who have long established links with the Shire going back over many generations. The Council today consists of seven Councillors, including a Shire President. There are five men and two women Councillors elected. The Shire’s Chief Executive Officer is readily accessible, and there is a marked absence of unnecessary bureaucracy. The Council recognises that a key objective of residents is to maintain the unique character of Peppermint Grove, and its policies and decisions are formulated to that end. Many of the Council’s strategies and initiatives are specifically directed at helping to preserve, maintain and enhance the ambience of Peppermint Grove.

Peppermint GroveAbout the Ukrainian Language
The Ukrainian language is an Eastern Slavic language, and part of the Indo-European language family.
Ukrainian is the second most spoken Slavic language and there are 37 million speakers in Ukraine. Most of them are native speakers. The Ukrainian language is written with Cyrillic letters.
The first theory of the origin of Ukrainian language was suggested in Imperial Russia in the middle of the 18th century by Mikhail Lomonosov. This theory posits the existence of a common language spoken by all East Slavic people in the time of the Rus'. According to Lomonosov, the differences that subsequently developed between Great Russian and Ukrainian (which he referred to as Little Russian) could be explained by the influence of the Polish and Slovak languages on Ukrainian and the influence of Uralic languages on Russian from the 13th to the 17th centuries.
Another point of view developed during the 19th and 20th centuries by linguists of Imperial Russia and the Soviet Union. Like Lomonosov, they assumed the existence of a common language spoken by East Slavs in the past. But unlike Lomonosov's hypothesis, this theory does not view "Polonization" or any other external influence as the main driving force that led to the formation of three different languages (Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian) from the common Old East Slavic language. This general point of view is the most accepted amongst academics worldwide, particularly outside Ukraine. The supporters of this theory disagree, however, about the time when the different languages were formed.
Soviet scholars set the divergence between Ukrainian and Russian only at later time periods (14th through 16th centuries). According to this view, Old East Slavic diverged into Belarusian and Ukrainian to the west (collectively, the Ruthenian language of the 15th to 18th centuries), and Old Russian to the north-east, after the political boundaries of the Kievan Rus' were redrawn in the 14th century. During the time of the incorporation of Ruthenia (Ukraine and Belarus) into the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, Ukrainian and Belarusian diverged into identifiably separate languages.

Ukrainian Document Translation
Ukrainian has three primary dialect groupings — Northern, Southwestern, and Southeastern — with the standard literary language based on the Southeastern Poltava-Kyiv dialect. Documents from western Ukraine may contain vocabulary influenced by Polish or Hungarian, while those from eastern regions may show Russian lexical influence. Post-2014 reforms have strengthened the use of standardised Ukrainian in all official documentation nationwide.
Ukrainian Document Types
A birth certificate is a свідоцтво про народження (svidotstvo pro narodzhennya), and a marriage certificate is a свідоцтво про шлюб (svidotstvo pro shlyub). University diplomas are issued as диплом (dyplom) with an accompanying grade supplement called додаток до диплома.
Where Ukrainian Is Official
Ukrainian is the sole state language of Ukraine, a status reinforced by the 2019 Law on Ensuring the Functioning of the Ukrainian Language as the State Language, which mandates its use across government, education, media, and public services. It is recognised as a minority language in several neighbouring countries including Poland, Slovakia, Romania, and Moldova. The global Ukrainian diaspora, significantly expanded since 2022, has increased the volume of Ukrainian documents requiring certified translation worldwide.
Ukrainian is written in a variant of the Cyrillic alphabet containing 33 letters, including characters not found in Russian such as ґ, є, і, and ї. The official Ukrainian transliteration system (Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 55, 2010) governs how names are romanised for passports and international documents, and translators must follow this standard for consistency with existing identity records.
About Shire of Peppermint Grove
The Shire of Peppermint Grove is the smallest local government area in Western Australia, covering just 1.5 square kilometres between the Swan River and Stirling Highway. With a population of approximately 1,700, it is an exclusive, low-density residential enclave known for heritage homes and large riverfront properties.
The shire consists entirely of the single suburb of Peppermint Grove, bordered by Mosman Park, Cottesloe, and Claremont.
The shire offices and the Peppermint Grove Library are on Stirling Highway. Community facilities are modest given the small population, with the Peppermint Grove Tennis Club and local foreshore reserves serving as the primary recreational spaces.
Stirling Highway runs through the centre of the shire, providing direct road access to both Perth CBD and Fremantle. The nearest train stations are in neighbouring Cottesloe and Claremont on the Fremantle line, both within walking distance.
