Representation Review
During 2025, the City of Charles Sturt completed an Elector Representation Review which is a formal process under Section 12 of the Local Government Act 1999 to review all aspects of Council's composition, including the division, or potential division, of the Council area into wards. In reviewing the representation arrangements and in consultation with the community a minor ward boundary change will come into effect for the 2027 Council election.
The adjustments will affect a small portion of residents within the Semaphore Park Ward and the Grange Ward only. Ward Maps from the final Representation Review Report as certified by the Electoral Commission of SA, outlining the Semaphore Park Ward and Grange Ward boundary adjustments, are available in the Government Gazette here (pages 112 and 113).
An image of the new northern boundary of the Grange Ward is shown below:
