The District Council of Grant is a local government area located in the Limestone Coast region of South Australia, and is the southernmost council in the state.
The council was formed on 1 July 1996 after the amalgamation of the District Council of Mount Gambier and the District Council of Port MacDonnell, and currently surrounds the City of Mount Gambier.[1][4] The economy of the district is based on agriculture, forestry and fishing.
The council seat and administration offices are outside the council boundaries in Mount Gambier, while it maintains a branch office in Port MacDonnell.[5]
