History
The roots of SRDC can be dated back to 1940s where it was known as "Dayak Local Authority" which was under the chairmanship of Penghulu Imai. Its members were made up of Iban local chiefs of Sibu. The name was changed to "Local Authority Sibu" after it was put under the administration of British Colonial Officers.[3]
Administration
SRDC currently administers part of the Sibu District and Selangau District covering a total area of 6,000 km2. The area of administration contains a total of 60,000 population which are mainly Ibans.[3] In 1981, due to a delineation exercise, one of the areas under SRDC was incorporated into Sibu Municipal Council (SMC). Another area known as Igan region was taken over by Matu-Daro District Council in October 1991.[4]
