About Augusta Bay

The Corporate Town of Port Augusta West was a local government area in South Australia centred on the suburb of Port Augusta West. It was gazetted on 6 October 1887. They met in council chambers in Loudon Road, which ceased to be used by its successor council upon its amalgamation, but remained in use by the community until their demolition in the 1940s, at which time the building was described as “definitely unsafe”. It was not uncommon for positions to be elected unopposed or without any nominations at all; in the election of November 1903, no one nominated for either mayor or councillor.
