Administrative structure

Officer-in-charge: Archivist

(Note: The St Peters Municipality, established in 1871 and the Petersham Municipality, established in 1872 were merged into the Marrickville Municipality (established in the 1960s) in 1948.
As at early 2018, the former Leichhardt, Ashfield and Marrickville councils in Sydney had recently merged to form the Inner West Council. This could result in changes to structures.)
