Wards
Historically, Whittlesea was divided into four ridings, each electing three councillors. When it became a City in 1988, these were converted into wards:
- Centre Ward (formerly Yan Yean Riding)
- East Ward (formerly Morang Riding)
- West Ward (formerly Thomastown Riding)
- North Ward (formerly Whittlesea Riding)
After 1994, Whittlesea was resubdivided into nine wards, each with one councillor. From the 2005 local elections, after a review by the Victorian Electoral Commission, this was reformed to three wards, each electing three councillors:
- East Ward
- North Ward
- West Ward

Famous quotes containing the word wards:
“Only by obedience to his genius; only by the freest activity in the way constitutional to him, does an angel seem to arise before a man, and lead him by the hand out of all the wards of the prison.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
