Welcome to Litchfield Council

Litchfield Council provides services to an area of 3,100 km² in Australia's Northern Territory. The municipality has a population of about 17,000 people.

A ''Quality of Life Index'', survey conducted by BankWest was released in August 2008 and revealed what Litchfield residents already know: that the municipality is a great place to live.

The Index ranked Local Government areas across Australia. Litchfield was the highest ranking municipality in the Northern Territory, coming in at 284. The next closest Local Government area was Darwin at 467. The Index was compiled by comparing10 different indicators across Australia using government and other data. These indicators included levels of home ownership, detached housing, health, property related crime, high school enrolment, income and community involvement.

Residents of the Litchfield Municipality have long prided themselves on their rural lifestyle and have adhered to Councils' motto of ''Community Effort is Essential''. Indexes such as this indicate that the community's hard work does not go unnoticed, and that our rural lifestyle is proudly maintained.
