getLgas ​

Retrieves a list of all LGAs (Local Government Areas, i.e. Councils).

INFO

LGA is the "jurisdiction" whereas a council is the "governing body", but for all intents and purposes they are the same. The master LGA list does not include words like "council" or "shire", so these are not included in the response.
