District Council of Kadina

The District Council of Kadina was a local government area in South Australia from 1888 to 1984.

It was established by the District Councils Act 1887, which took effect from 5 January 1888. It comprised the former District Council of Green's Plains, which amalgamated into the new council, and the areas of the cadastral Hundreds of Moonta and Wallaroo not contained in the Corporate Town of Kadina, Corporate Town of Moonta or the Corporate Town of Wallaroo.[1] There had earlier been a serious attempt by Kadina residents to establish a Kadina council in 1867, prior to the creation of the Corporate Town of Kadina, but it had been defeated by Wallaroo residents and the owners of the Wallaroo Mines.[2][3][4]

Councillors in the early 1900s raised concerns about being continually ignored in favour of the three corporate towns in the area (Kadina, Moonta and Wallaroo), and being excluded from important meetings.[5]

The council lost its Paskeville Ward to the District Council of Kulpara on 1 July 1890, but regained it on 12 May 1932 when the Kulpara council was abolished.[6] In June 1932, it lost portions of Moonta Bay, North Moonta, Port Hughes to the Corporate Town of Moonta.[7]

In 1936, it was responsible for an area of 155,200 acres with a capital value of £606,580.[8]

The Corporate Town of Kadina merged into the council in 1977.[9]

The District Council ceased to exist on 1 July 1984 when it amalgamated with the Corporate Town of Moonta to form the District Council of Northern Yorke Peninsula.[10]
