District Council Of Crystal Brook-Redhill
The District Council of Crystal Brook-Redhill was a local government area in South Australia. It came into existence on 1 July 1988 as a result of the merger of the District Council of Crystal Brook and District Council of Redhill at the instigation of the two councils. It followed an earlier unsuccessful proposal that would have also involved the District Council of Georgetown joining the merger. The new council had twelve members, representing the seven wards of the two former councils: Town Ward (4 members), Koolunga Ward (2 members), Redhill Ward (2 members), Broughton Extension Ward, East Ward, Napperby Ward and West Wards (1 member each). As of 1995, the district council operated from chambers located in Crystal Brook.

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 ...
