The City of Holdfast Bay is a Local Government Area in the south western coastal suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia.

Origins

The council was formed 1 January 1997, when the former councils of Glenelg and Brighton were amalgamated by the State government. As a result there are two council offices, one in the historic Glenelg Town Hall on Moseley Square, and the other on Jetty Road Brighton.

Mayors

The council has only had two mayors to date: Brian Nadilo and the current mayor Ken Rollond, who was re-elected.
