Mount Barker District Council

The District Council of Mount Barker is a local government area centred on the Adelaide Hills town of Mount Barker, just outside the Adelaide metropolitan area in South Australia. The council was established in October 1853. In May 1935 the council expanded to four times its original size in a series of council amalgamations, absorbing the District Council of Nairne and parts of the District Councils of Echunga and Macclesfield. The local government area covers about 595 square kilometres.
