[3] In 1868, the council area ranged approximately from Dry Creek in the north to the River Torrens in the south east and Torrens Road (unrelated to the river) in the south west.

[4][5] The council office was located near Gepps Cross intersection at the northern end of the suburb of Enfield.

[6] The division still did not satisfy everyone, as the council had trouble collecting rates from the rural north-western areas; and Prospect ratepayers who did pay, believed they were not getting their fair share of roadworks and that the council office was too far away at Gepps Cross.

Led by council member James Harrington, Prospect Village residents petitioned for separation from Yatala South, and on 1 August 1872 part was severed to form the new District Council of Prospect.

[1] Well over half a century since its establishment, on 22 June 1933, Yatala South was renamed to be the District Council of Enfield following lobbying from residents.
