The City of Port Adelaide Enfield was established in 1996 through an amalgamation of Port Adelaide and Enfield councils, and is one of the larger Metropolitan councils within South Australia .

Extending from the River Torrens to Outer Harbor , and covering an area of approximately 97 km², the City offers some of the South Australia's finest historical buildings and landmarks, together with a wealth of beautiful parks and excellent cultural and recreational facilities.

With a solid industrial and residential base, Port Adelaide Enfield provides facilities and services to a growing population of around 100,000 residents and some 7,000 businesses.

The current mayor is Fiona Barr. She was elected in 2003, without previously serving as a councillor. After a topsy-turvy reign, which included a lawsuit against city manager Harry Wierda over a series of leaked emails containing disparaging language towards a former staffer, the council decided to change its electoral system so that the mayor was no longer directly elected, but elected by his/her fellow councillors.
