Periodic reviews of Elector representation are scheduled by the Electoral Commission of SA to confirm that governance<br />
arrangements are adequate within each Council and that they provide a fair representation for electors.<br />
As required by the Local Government Act 1999, Section 12, a review of the Council’s composition and structure was last<br />
considered in 2017 and resulted in the City retaining its five ward structure represented by two Ward Councillors per ward<br />
and a Mayor as the principal member of Council.<br />
The next Representation Review is scheduled for 2024.<br />
