It came into existence on 1 July 1988, as a result of the merger of the District Council of Crystal Brook and District Council of Redhill at the instigation of the two councils.^[2][3][4] It followed an earlier unsuccessful proposal that would have also involved the District Council of Georgetown joining the merger.^[5] The new council had twelve members, representing the seven wards of the two former councils: Town Ward (4 members), Koolunga Ward (2 members), Redhill Ward (2 members), Broughton Extension Ward, East Ward, Napperby Ward and West Wards (1 member each).^[2] As of 1995, the district council operated from chambers located in Crystal Brook.^[6] It ceased operation on 17 March 1997, when it amalgamated with the City of Port Pirie to form the Port Pirie Regional Council.^[7][8]

Former state MP Ivan Venning was a Crystal Brook-Redhill councillor at its inception.^[9][2]
