Talk:Local government areas of South Australia

message: Well, i just harmonised the list as best as possible (fixed that 'to do list' item a year later ;)), except for the Aboriginal Councils. Are these actual LGA's or just indigenous reserves? Anyway, i think they need to be included. If no one disagrees, i will put them in, as it will keep the template and this page nice and constant.
Also, Astrokey44 (i think its his) map is slighlty wrong in relation to the types of council. A number of 'District Councils' are incorrect.

replies: text: The only incorrect ones are: Berri Barmera Council, Naracoorte Lucindale Council, Wattle Range Council, Alexandrina Council. On the map they are marked as 'District Council', as opposed to 'Council'. Also, could you include the Aboriginal Councils/Reserves to the map? Thanks. The Catcher 00:03, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

message: 1881 - The SA Census 1881 provides population broken down to County, then to LGA (corporate towns and district councils), hundreds outside of District councils, and County outside of Hundreds.  There are lots of places I have never heard of in this list! --Scott Davis Talk 01:42, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Suggest creating all non-existent articles as redirects to current LGA covering the traditional area. Detail of the former name and any amalgamations should be included in the history of existing article. I like what you've done for City of Elizabeth. Is a better idea to create the article for historical LGA instead of just a redirect where there's time and material available. Donama (talk) 04:00, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: That's almost identical to what I had in mind. i.e. I agree. Pdfpdf (talk) 05:00, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

message: The list is a fantastic start. Couple of points, though.
*If City of Brighton, South Australia is ever created, it might be wise to rename City of Brighton, Victoria. Why should the Victorians get the default?
::Yes, agree City of Brighton should be a disambiguation page and existing page there be moved to City of Brighton, Victoria. Donama (talk) 04:00, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Good question, have wondered the same, but still think Walkerville should just be called "Town of Walkerville" as the "corporation of" bit merely means it's incorporated, not that the name of the entity is anything but "Town of Walkerville". Donama (talk) 04:00, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that where it is simply subtle boundary shifts or renaming then the history of all that can just go in one article. Where it's a case of amalgamation where each constituent has its own detailed history there should be separate articles. Donama (talk) 04:00, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

text: Thanks. Good questions, and I agree. (I look forward to resolution of the answers!) Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 11:49, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

message: FYI, I have just begun the relevant category. There's only one article there at the moment, so let's hope some officious WikiElf doesn't delete it before we can add more.

message: Some of you may have noticed me editing the above sections to show where the historic District Council of Yatala fits in. It's part of the history of at least 4 existing LGAs so I felt compelled to start the article District Council of Yatala. Can someone please help me categorise it. I'm hesitant to just go ahead and categorise as :Category:Local Government Areas in Adelaide and/or :Category:Local government areas of South Australia which are technically correct but currently limited to just present-day LGAs. Donama (talk) 02:20, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Done, using :Category:Former Local Government Areas of South Australia. LordVetinari 04:00, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Five years on it looks like I got back to this (and Hundred of Yatala for you inner north Adelaide residents!). The cat is now called :Category:Former local government areas of South Australia. Donama (talk) 06:20, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: District Council of Yatala

message: Hi all, I have created a todo list (based on a chunk of the Land admin divisions talk page that was racking up way too many edits) at a subpage of the SA wikiproject: Wikipedia:WikiProject South Australia/Historic places. I am hoping it can be expanded so we get through all the historic LGAs of South Australia over the next 5 years or so. The todo this on this talk page (see above) might be added in too.
Also, I've made a massive list of all the historic South Aussie LGAs I could find from any source to highlight as many redlinks as possible: User:Donama/SA LGAs. Even then some blue links are devious redirects (e.g. neither City of Brighton or City of Brighton, South Australia is an article about our South Aussie former City of Brighton). Perhaps bits of this might be incorporated into the Historic places todo list too. That's all for now! Donama (talk) 05:07, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

message: Just checked the approximate area using the PLB area measurement tool (www.maps.sa.gov.au/plb) and it came out as "Area: 1820.552km²  Perimeter: 245.442km  Result is approximate. Refer to survey plans for accurate measurements." so the recent change to 1832 sq km (instead of 7000+) seems likely correct even though unsourced. Donama (talk) 23:35, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
