District Council Of Crystal Brook
The District Council of Crystal Brook was a local government area in South Australia from 1882 until 1988, seated at Crystal Brook. History The Hundred of Crystal Brook was released for settlement under the Strangways Land Act with the first land sale on 3 March 1873. A Local Board of Main Roads for the North Midland District was established at Gladstone in 1874. This ceased to function in 1887. The District Council of Crystal Brook was proclaimed on 11 November 1882, and comprised only the township of Crystal Brook and the suburban sections of the hundred, after a proposed broader council covering the entire hundred met with resistance from rural residents. The council expanded significantly under the ''District Councils Act 1887'', adding the remainder of the Hundred of Crystal Brook, the sections of the Hundred of Pirie not included in the Corporate Town of Port Pirie, the entirety of the Hundreds of Napperby and Wandearah, and the as yet ungazetted Hundred of Howe (sec ...

Former Local Government Areas Of South Australia
A former is an object, such as a template, gauge or cutting die, which is used to form something such as a boat's hull. Typically, a former gives shape to a structure that may have complex curvature. A former may become an integral part of the finished structure, as in an aircraft fuselage, or it may be removable, being using in the construction process and then discarded or re-used. Aircraft formers Formers are used in the construction of aircraft fuselage, of which a typical fuselage has a series from the nose to the empennage, typically perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. The primary purpose of formers is to establish the shape of the fuselage and reduce the column length of stringers to prevent instability. Formers are typically attached to longerons, which support the skin of the aircraft. The "former-and-longeron" technique (also called stations and stringers) was adopted from boat construction, and was typical of light aircraft built until the ad ...

District Council Of Mundoora
Mundoora is a settlement in South Australia, 16 km inland from Port Broughton, to which it was connected by the horse-drawn Port Broughton tramway around 1876. Its tram, dubbed "The Pie Cart", which was described as a "kind of second-hand coffin drawn by one horse" and still in operation in 1923 was later relegated to the Railways Museum and the line dismantled. At the 2006 census, Mundoora had a population of 248. Governance The first local government established in the area was the District Council of Broughton, later called District Council of Redhill. Mundoora was never served by the historic District Council of Mundoora, which was instead based at Port Broughton, to the west. Today the township of Mundoora is in the District Council of Barunga West but the locality is at the meeting point of three local government areas, the Port Pirie Regional Council spanning the north east and Wakefield Regional Council spanning the south east corners of the locality.

District Council Of Gladstone
The District Council of Gladstone was a local government area in South Australia. It was proclaimed on 10 August 1876 as the District Council of Yangya, named for the cadastral Hundred of Yangya, but was renamed Gladstone after its main town on 14 August 1879. Gladstone had been built as a private township very close to the hundred boundary, and the adjacent government township of Booyoolie, built not long after, was in the adjacent Hundred of Booyoolie, and formed as the separate District Council of Booyoolie, dividing the twin towns (later merged into modern Gladstone in 1939) into two separate municipalities based on their respective hundreds. It gained the Booyoolie township from that council in 1879, and acquired the remainder of what had been the southern portion of the Booyoolie council on 12 August 1880. It then gained the remainder of the Hundred of Yangya under the ''District Councils Act 1887''. A ward system was first introduced in 1881, with three wards (Gladstone, ...

District Council Of Port Germein
The District Council of Port Germein was a local government area in South Australia, centred on the town of Port Germein. It was gazetted on 5 January 1888 under the provisions of the ''District Councils Act 1887'' and encompassed the hundreds of Baroota, Wongyarra, Booleroo, Telowie, Darling and Appila. It replaced an abortive earlier municipality, the Corporate Town of Port Germein, which had been established on 15 September 1887 when residents, concerned about increased taxation and their interests being lost in a broader shire under the forthcoming reforms, decided to incorporate the town. The local residents reportedly regretted the decision, and when the Act passed late in the year creating the new District Council, state parliament agreed to amalgamate the Corporate Town into the new municipality. A section of the municipality separated on 16 February 1933, when it was merged with the District Council of Hammond and most of the District Council of Woolundunga as the recr ...

District Council Of Georgetown
The District Council of Georgetown was a local government area in South Australia, centred on the town of Georgetown. History It was proclaimed on 2 March 1876 as the District Council of George Town, encompassing the cadastral Hundred of Bundaleer. The ''District Councils Act 1887'' expanded the council in two directions by amalgamating the District Council of Narridy (incorporating the Hundred of Narridy) to the west and annexing the Hundred of Yackamoorundie to the south. All three hundreds had been proclaimed in 1869 following the passage of the Strangways Land Act opening those lands up for closer settlement. It was subdivided into three wards later in 1888 (Georgetown, Narridy and Yacka). A redistribution of the ward system in 1921 created a fourth ward (Gulnare). By 1936, the council controlled an area of 260 square miles, including what the ''Civic Record'' described as "some of the finest cereal-growing areas in South Australia". It was responsible for 360 miles of ro ...

District Council Of Redhill
The District Council of Redhill was a local government area in South Australia from 1888 to 1988. It was proclaimed on 5 January 1888 as one of the new councils created under the ''District Councils Act 1887'' under the name of the District Council of Broughton. At its creation, it included the Hundreds of Mundoora, Redhill, Koolunga, and Wokurna. Meetings were initially held at Redhill, but were moved to Port Broughton after complaints from the councillor for Wokurna Ward about the distance over rough roads to attend meetings. On 9 June 1892, the District Council of Mundoora was created, severing the Hundred of Wokurna from the existing council and gaining "all that portion of the Hundred of Mundoora not included in the District of Broughton". As a result, the District Council of Broughton was resubdivided into three wards (Broughton Extension, Koolunga and Redhill), electing only five councillors instead of the initial eight. The council changed its name from the District ...
