The District Council of Woolundunga was a local government area in South Australia from 1888 until 1933.

History

It was created on 5 January 1888 as the District Council of Davenport under the provisions of the District Councils Act 1887,[1] but was renamed Woolundunga on 8 June 1893 to avoid confusion with the adjacent Corporate Town of Davenport, a separate municipality.[2][3] The principal township was Stirling North.[4] The council constructed purpose-built chambers at Stirling North in 1894, and operated out of them for the remainder of their existence.[5][6]

At its creation, the council area was more than 1,000 km2 (400 sq mi), including all the formerly unincorporated parts of the

District Council of Hammond and part of the District Council of Port Germein as the recreated District Council of Wilmington on 16 February 1933; a section of Woolundunga was also merged into the District Council of Kanyaka as its Mundallio Ward.[2][8]
