Northern Areas Council
Northern Areas Council is a local government area in the Yorke and Mid North region of South Australia. The council seat and main council offices are at Jamestown, while the council also maintains district offices at Gladstone and Spalding. History Most of the region was first settled in the early 1840s, only a few years after the settlement of Adelaide. Several explorers had passed through the area on their way to more remote places, including Edward John Eyre and John Horrocks. The Northern Areas Council came into effect on 3 May 1997, when the District Council of Rocky River, the District Council of Spalding and the District Council of Jamestown merged. Rocky River and Jamestown had themselves previously been subject to a number of amalgamations, and had a large number of predecessor municipalities; in contrast, the Spalding council had a much different history, as prior to the merger, it had been an independent municipality predating the landmark ''District Councils Act ...

District Council Of Belalie
The District Council of Belalie was a local government area in South Australia. It was proclaimed on 11 November 1875, and initially comprised most of the cadastral Hundred of Belalie, including its central town of Jamestown. Jamestown itself had originally been planned to be named Belalie when surveyed; while the town had been renamed, the Belalie name was retained for the council. It was divided into five wards at its inception (Centre, North-West, North-East, South-West and South-East) with one councillor each, the first councillors for each being appointed by proclamation. The South-East and South-West wards had been replaced by the Yarcowie and Yongala wards by 1893. On 25 July 1878, the town of Jamestown was severed from the Belalie council with the creation of the Corporate Town of Jamestown, leaving Belalie as an entirely rural municipality with no towns within its boundaries. It gained the Hundred of Whyte and the remnant rural portions of the Hundred of Belalie under t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Yorke And Mid North
In South Australia, one of the states and territories of Australia, states of Australia, there are many areas which are commonly known by regional names. Regions are areas that share similar characteristics. These characteristics may be natural such as the Murray River, the coastline, desert or mountains.
