Welcome

The Northern Areas Council is located in an area about 200km north of Adelaide and 60 km east of Port Pirie with Peterborough to our north and Clare to the south of the district.

The region is also experiencing strong housing demand as people are choosing to relocate to vibrant rural districts characterised by stately 'turn-of-the-century' homes.

The Northern Areas Council district is a strategic link for visitors commuting to or from the popular Flinders Ranges and can cater for drive through tourists with excellent caravan parks at Gladstone, Laura and Jamestown and accommodation at hotels in each town. Council's district is also adjacent to the major east-west road link from Sydney to Perth and includes a section of the Indian Pacific rail line.

The district hosts a number of significant local events which are important to their respective communities.

There is a "fast find" menu on the right if you are after a casual look at some relevant items, and more detailed drop down menus at the top of the page.
