Its boundaries were created on 26 April 2013 while its name, which is ultimately derived from the mountain range of the same name, reflects the use of a "long established local name". Its boundaries were again adjusted in 2014 in association with the creation of the new locality of Cultana.^{[2][8][10][11]}
