District Council of Coonalpyn Downs
The District Council of Coonalpyn Downs was a local government area in the Australian state of South Australia that existed from 1957 to 1997 on land in the state’s south-east.
It was established on 30 May 1957 with its seat being located in the town of Coonalpyn.[3]
At establishment, the district consisted of land in the hundreds of Jeffries, Strawbridge, Coneybeer, Lewis, Field, Colebatch, Richards and Coombe and parts of the hundreds of Archibald, Carcuma and Kirkpatrick.[3] The district therefore included parts of the cadastral counties of Buccleuch, Russell, Cardwell and Buckingham.[1]
At establishment, councillors were elected from the following five wards with all returning two councillors each with the exception of Yumali which returned one councillor – Coonalpyn, Mclntosh, Richards, Tintinara and Yumali.[3]
On 13 February 1997, it was amalgamated with the district councils of Meningie and Peake to create the Coorong District Council.[4]
