The services can vary greatly from one Council area to another depending upon the Council's geographical location and size, development and growth patterns, and population profile. Most people recognise that Councils provide a diverse range of services but few people understand quite how wide and diverse the range of services are. For more information about 5 key service areas, click here. Combined, all 68 Councils in SA spend around $1 billion a year, about half of which is spent on: roads and drainage; waste collection, disposal and recycling; recreation and cultural activities; and library and information services.

What Councils must do Mostly Councils decide what services they will provide locally, however there are some services which Councils are required to provide by legislation.
