City of Port Adelaide Enfield

City of Port Adelaide Enfield Official account of the City of Port Adelaide Enfield. We're here Mon to Fri 8:30am-5pm. The City of PAE is a cultural and historical hub.

The City of Port Adelaide Enfield is one of the largest council regions in metropolitan Adelaide, with boundaries extending from the River Torrens to Outer Harbor covering a diverse area of 97 square kilometres. The Council is divided into seven wards that span across 51 suburbs and includes part of four Federal Electorates; Port Adelaide, Adelaide, Makin and Sturt. It is home to some of the State’s finest historical buildings and landmarks, together with a wealth of parks, cultural facilities beaches and recreational areas. Historic Port Adelaide was central to the colonization of South Australia dating right back to its inception in 1836, when Colonel William Light first sailed up the Port River. Port Adelaide has been the gateway to trade and commerce in South Australia ever since, and was the first contact with South Australia for thousands of immigrants when they arrived by ship. As well as being an industrial hub and home to much of South Australia’s high tech defence industry, Port Adelaide today is a tourism hub. It features a mixture of history and modernisation with many historical landmarks having been converted for modern use. Enfield was predominantly a farming area, with fertile country along the River Torrens and wheat and grain fields in its northern reaches. Today it is home to a large proportion of Adelaide’s multicultural community which includes people from a wide range of backgrounds.

We are looking at how we can improve safety, accessibility and connectivity in Port Adelaide. But to do this, first, we need you to let us know how we can create a space that’s easier for you to stop, spend time and enjoy doing more things. This will inform how we plan traffic infrastructure into the future.

If you live, work or play in Port Adelaide and walk, ride, drive or catch public transport to get here, we want to hear from you.

As with all consultations, comments left on social media cannot be included. To have your say visit https://participate.cityofpae.sa.gov.au/moving-port or drop in to one of our in person sessions throughout September to chat with the team.

It should be common sense, but if it says anything like this on the bottle DO NOT put it in your recycling bin!

Over recent weeks we've found a large number of explosive gas bottles and pressurised containers in yellow recycling bins. It's incredibly dangerous and puts collection crews, recycling workers and the community at risk.

This pile was pulled from a recycling truck yesterday after being collected from household bins. Luckily, the Cleanaway driver spotted the bottles on the truck's camera system and was able to stop and remove them before a serious incident occurred.

If an item is pressurised, explosive, flammable or carries warning labels like these, it does not belong in your recycling bin.

Every yellow bin lid shows what can and can't go inside. If you're ever unsure, check Which Bin? to find the safest and correct way to dispose of almost any household item.

What started as countless hours on the ice and a shared passion for the game has led local brothers Zac and Caz to the pinnacle of Australian junior ice hockey.

Supported by a City of PAE Individual Grant, the brothers recently represented South Australia at the 18U National Ice Hockey Championship, helping the SA team return home as National Champions.

Their success reflects the dedication, resilience and teamwork they've developed through sport, both on and off the ice.

The achievements keep coming, with Caz also selected to represent Australia at the 2026 15U Youth Pan-Pacific Series in Queenstown, New Zealand, later this year.

Stories like Zac and Caz's show how the Individual Grants Program helps local residents pursue opportunities, achieve their goals and proudly represent their community on state, national and international stages.

The Individual Grants Program supports students under 25 and eligible low-income residents who have been selected to participate in national or international competitions, festivals, exhibitions, conferences or youth development opportunities. visit our website to learn more and apply.

A hundred years ago, a group of local musicians came together with a shared love of music. One hundred years later, the Port Adelaide City Band is still bringing people together.

Behind every performance at an ANZAC service, community celebration, Christmas event or local gathering are volunteers who give their time, talent and passion to keep this tradition alive.

This year, as the band celebrates its centenary, five long-serving members are being recognised for their extraordinary contribution, representing nearly 140 years of combined service.

Jaclyn Fechner – 25 years
Adam Jones – 22 years
Ruby Kavanagh – 26 years
Peter Nelson – 44 years
Eric Capelle – 22 years

The Port Adelaide City Band is more than a band. It's friendships formed, skills shared, generations connected and a community brought together through music.

Thank you to every member, past and present, who has helped make the Port Adelaide City Band such an important part of our community for the past 100 years.

Register now to take part in the final ever Garage Sale Trail ♻️

This November marks the last chapter of an incredible Australian success story and now is your chance to register your sale and get involved.

What started 16 years ago as a simple idea to help people reuse and share has grown into a nationwide movement supported by more than 120 councils. Along the way, over 4 million Australians have taken part, 7.2 million pre-loved items have found new homes, and more than $52 million has been generated for households, charities and community groups.

The final Garage Sale Trail, 7-8 and 14-15 November, is your chance to be part of this iconic event one last time. Register your sale, clear out your cupboards, make some extra cash and help give pre-loved items a new lease on life rather than heading to landfill.
