Adelaide is located north of the Fleurieu Peninsula, on the Adelaide Plains between the Gulf St Vincent and the low-lying Mount Lofty Ranges. The city stretches 20 km (12 mi) from the coast to the foothills, and 90 km (56 mi) from Gawler at its northern extent to Sellicks Beach in the south.

Adelaide City

The Adelaide city centre is the innermost locality of Greater Adelaide, known by locals simply as “The City” or “Town”. The locality is split into two key geographical distinctions: the city “square mile”, bordered by North, East, South and West Terraces; and that part of the Adelaide Parklands south of the River Torrens which separate the locality’s built form from the surrounding suburbs.

Adelaide City Council

The City of Adelaide is a local government area in the metropolitan area of Adelaide, South Australia. It covers the original Adelaide city centre settlement. Established in 1840, the Adelaide City Council is the oldest municipal authority in Australia. At its time of establishment, Adelaide’s (and Australia’s) first mayor, James Hurtle Fisher, was elected. From 1919 onwards, the City has had a Lord Mayor, the current being Michael Harbison.

In its local administrative capacity, the City of Adelaide has responsibility for two areas analogous to suburbs: the Adelaide city centre (also known as the city, the square mile and the CBD) and North Adelaide. The city council is also responsible for the Adelaide Parklands which surround North Adelaide and the city centre.
