New Residents

The City of Port Adelaide Enfield came into being on 26 March 1996 with the amalgamation of the former City of Enfield and former City of Port Adelaide. You are now part of a council that stretches for 32km from hills to sea, covers an area of 97 square kilometres. If you have just moved into our  City- we welcome you.

What your Council does

The Council exists to:

  • Plan, monitor, regulate and administer the City's financial and community assets.
  • Ensure the effective use of resources to enhance the quality of life in the City.
  • Provide vision, leadership and accountability.

To help you get settled into PAE, here are some of the first services you might want to arrange

"We acknowledge and pay respect to the Traditional Owners of the land on which we stand, the Kaurna People of the Adelaide Plains. It is upon their ancestral lands that the Port Adelaide Enfield Council meets. It is also the Place of the Kardi, the Emu, whose story travels from the coast inland. We pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We respect their spiritual beliefs and connections to land which are of continuing importance to the living Kaurna People of today. We further acknowledge the contributions and important role that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people continue to play within our shared community."
