At establishment, it consisted of the whole of the Hundred of Joyce. By 1985, the district's extent had grown by the addition of the following six hundreds - Coles, Conmurra, Fox, Spence, Townsend and Woolumbool. As of 1985, the population of each hundred was represented by a ward whose boundary aligned with the respective hundred, with an eighth ward representing the population of the Town of Lucindale.[3][2]
On 1 December 1998, it was amalgamated with the District Council of Naracoorte to create the Naracoorte Lucindale Council.[4]
