Local government in South Australia
Local government is the closest level of government to communities, operating right where we live and work.
In Australia, we have three tiers of government local, state and federal. Each tier has its own set of powers and responsibilities, but they all work together to govern and provide services to our community .
Councils play a key role in decision-making and delivering services to communities. Each council is different, covering unique geographic locations, sizes, populations and environments.
Councils provide essential services to communities while planning for future needs and growth to ensure our suburbs and regions are liveable and thriving.
