Naracoorte Lucindale Council

What Naracoorte Lucindale Council does

Naracoorte Lucindale Council is a local government authority established in 1996 through the amalgamation of the District Council of Naracoorte and the Council of the Municipality of Lucindale. It operates under the Local Government Act 1999 (South Australia) and serves the Naracoorte Lucindale region in the Limestone Coast zone of South Australia, with 25 employees and an elected body of 11 members (Mayor plus 10 Councillors). The council provides statutory local government services including road maintenance, waste collection and recycling, library services, cemetery management, development and planning approvals, environmental health regulation, and community development.

The council's core service portfolio includes the Naracoorte Library and Town Hall, the Naracoorte Regional Livestock Exchange (described as South Australia's premier livestock selling facility), the Naracoorte Aerodrome, cemetery services, environmental health services, and a community consultation platform (Your Say). A subsidiary mobile app, My Local Services App, extends digital service access to residents. The council's jurisdiction includes the Naracoorte Caves World Heritage Area, supporting a regional tourism economy.

Revenue is derived from council rates (property taxes on residential, commercial, and rural properties), fees and charges (development applications, facility hire, environmental health fees, cemetery fees), transaction-based revenue from the Naracoorte Regional Livestock Exchange, and federal and state government grants including Local Government Financial Assistance Grants. The council operates as a direct-to-government service provider with no commercial parent organization and no public ticker.
