City of Onkaparinga, Administrative division in South Australia, Australia

The region was established in 1997 through the merger of Happy Valley, Noarlunga, and Willunga councils, forming South Australia's largest local government area.

The Onkaparinga River received its name from the Kaurna indigenous term 'Ngangkiparinga', which translates to 'women's river' in their native language.

The council operates from multiple locations, including the main office in Noarlunga Centre and additional facilities in Aberfoyle Park, Woodcroft, and Willunga.

The population of Onkaparinga increased from 143,143 residents in 2001 to more than 170,000 today, reflecting continuous growth in the region.
