TheDistrict Council of Lefevre's Peninsula was alocal government area inSouth Australia centred on theLefevre Peninsula from 1872 to 1884.
The council was gazetted in 1872. The council chambers were located in the Exeter Hotel atExeter.[1] TheDistrict Council of Birkenhead separated from it on 22 February 1877, and much of the remaining section, along with much of the adjacentDistrict Council of Glanville, seceded as the newCorporate Town of Semaphore on 20 December 1883. In January 1884, the Semaphore council debated whether the Lefevre Peninsula council had become defunct as a result of the secessions, and it formally ceased to exist when it merged into the Birkenhead council on 7 August 1884.[2][3]
