Coorong District Council response measures to Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is a global crisis, and our Council has a key role to play in limiting the spread and impact of it.

Our leaders are staying up to date on the latest advice from the State and Federal Governments, and relevant Government health agencies.

Residents who are experiencing financial hardship may seek assistance from Coorong District Council by entering into a long-term payment arrangement. Information is available on our Financial Hardship page.

About Local Government Elections

In South Australia, council elections are held every four years. Council elections allow voters the opportunity to choose who they wish to represent them on Council.

The most recent election was held in 2018. The next general election will occur in 2022.

Unlike State and Federal elections, it is not compulsory to vote in South Australian council elections and voting is carried out by post.

Coorong District Council is divided into three Wards for the purposes of local government elections:

  • Parks Ward
  • Mallee Ward
  • Lakes Ward

Please view a map of Ward boundaries here.

The 2018 election results are available on the Electoral Commission SA website.

Current Council Member contact details are available here.

More information about enrolling to vote, nominating as a candidate for election, or voting in the election, is available at the Local Government Association SA website.
