      History


      The City, then known as the District Council of Victor Harbor, was the product of a merger on 31 October 1975 between the District Council of Encounter Bay and the Corporation of Victor Harbor.
      In 1996–1997, a merger with the small neighbouring councils in Port Elliot and Goolwa, (which, with the town of Middleton, form a contiguous coastal conurbation with Victor Harbor), was considered, but ultimately the District Council of Victor Harbor remained distinct, and the other councils merged on 1 July 1997 to form the Alexandrina Council.
      On 1 February 2000, the District Council of Victor Harbor was renamed as the City of Victor Harbor.

      The City has 10 councillors and no wards. Each councillor serves a four-year term; the last election was in November 2018; the next election is due in 2022.
