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 Vietnamese Language
Vietnamese is the national and official language of Vietnam. It is the mother tongue of 86% of Vietnam's population, and of about three million overseas Vietnamese.
Like many languages from Asia the Vietnamese language is a tonal language. Today, it uses a Latin alphabet based on the French alphabet. The Vietnamese alphabet was once based on Chinese characters. It is called Chữ Nôm. Fewer people know Chữ Nôm today.
Vietnamese was identified more than 150 years ago as part of the Mon–Khmer branch of the Austroasiatic language family (a family that also includes Khmer, spoken in Cambodia, as well as various tribal and regional languages, such as the Munda and Khasi languages spoken in eastern India, and others in southern China). Later, Muong was found to be more closely related to Vietnamese than other Mon–Khmer languages, and a Viet–Muong subgrouping was established, also including Thavung, Chut, Cuoi, etc. The term "Vietic" was proposed by Hayes (1992), who proposed to redefine Viet–Muong as referring to a subbranch of Vietic containing only Vietnamese and Muong. The term "Vietic" is used, among others, by Gérard Diffloth, with a slightly different proposal on subclassification, within which the term "Viet–Muong" refers to a lower subgrouping (within an eastern Vietic branch) consisting of Vietnamese dialects, Muong dialects, and Nguồn (of Quảng Bình Province).
Vietnamese is increasingly being taught in schools and institutions outside of Vietnam. In countries with strongly established Vietnamese-speaking communities such as Australia, Canada, France, and the United States, Vietnamese language education largely serves as a cultural role to link descendants of Vietnamese immigrants to their ancestral culture. Meanwhile, in countries near Vietnam such as Cambodia, Laos, South Korea, and Thailand, the increased role of Vietnamese in foreign language education is largely due to the growth and influence of Vietnam's economy.

Vietnamese Document Translation
Vietnamese has three major dialect regions — Northern (Hanoi), Central (Hue), and Southern (Ho Chi Minh City) — that differ significantly in pronunciation and somewhat in vocabulary. While written Vietnamese is largely standardised, documents from different regions may use variant terms for the same administrative concepts. Pre-1975 documents from the former Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam) follow different formatting conventions and may use older terminology.
Vietnamese Document Types
A birth certificate is a giấy khai sinh, a marriage certificate is a giấy chứng nhận kết hôn, and a death certificate is a giấy chứng tử. Academic transcripts are titled bảng điểm and degree certificates as bằng tốt nghiệp.
Where Vietnamese Is Official
Vietnamese is the official language of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and the sole language of government, law, education, and media. It is spoken by approximately 85 million people in Vietnam and by significant diaspora communities worldwide, with Australia hosting one of the largest Vietnamese-born populations outside of Vietnam. Vietnamese has no official status in international organisations but is offered as a community language in Australian schools and universities.
Vietnamese is written in a Latin-based script called chữ Quốc ngữ, which incorporates extensive diacritical marks indicating both vowel quality and one of six lexical tones. A single base vowel like "a" can appear as á, à, ả, ạ, ã, ă, or â — and each represents a different sound, making exact diacritic reproduction essential.
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.
