History
The council was formed in 1989. It replaced Geraldine County Council (1904-1989) and Temuka County Council (1899-1989).
In 2020, the council had 242 staff, including 23 earning more than $100,000. According to the Taxpayers' Union think tank, residential rates averaged $2,160.
The council withdrew from Local Government New Zealand in September 2021 because it believed that body had not advocated sufficiently against the proposed Three Waters reform programme.
