The Port Pirie Regional Council was created in 1997, and resulted from two council mergers in short succession: the amalgamation of the District Council of Pirie into the City of Port Pirie in July 1996, and that council's subsequent amalgamation with the District Council of Crystal Brook-Redhill to create the present council in March 1997.[8]
