Light Regional Council is a local government area north of Adelaide in South Australia. It is based in the town of Kapunda, and includes the towns of Freeling, Greenock, Hansborough, Hewett, Roseworthy and Wasleys.
The council is named for the River Light, the south bank of which forms much of the council area's northwest border.[3] The river is named after William Light, the first Surveyor-General of South Australia.
Transport
The council district is crossed by the Horrocks Highway, Thiele Highway and Sturt Highway, all radiating from the northern end of the Gawler Bypass Road which forms the boundary between Light Regional Council and the Town of Gawler. Light also contains the northern end of the Max Fatchen Expressway.
The council was also spanned by the Morgan railway line (Gawler, Roseworthy, Freeling, Kapunda towards Eudunda) and Peterborough railway line (from the junction at Roseworthy through Wasleys towards Hamley Bridge), however both lines were closed in the early 21st century.
