Elector Representation Review
Section 12 of the Local Government Act 1999
Port Augusta City Council is undertaking a review to determine whether a change of arrangements in respect to elector representation will result in the electors of the area being more adequately and fairly represented.
Council has prepared a Representation Report that examines the advantages and disadvantages of the various options available in regards to the future composition and structure of the Council, and the division of the Council area into wards.
