Wakefield Regional Council

The Wakefield region is easily accessible from South Australia’s capital but far enough away to provide affordable living and a country lifestyle. Our key commercial centre of Balaklava and the surrounding townships of Owen, Hamley Bridge, Blyth, Brinkworth, Snowtown, Lochiel and Port Wakefield are connected by fertile agricultural lands, while a myriad of smaller settlements dot the landscape. The region boasts some of the state’s most productive farming land, with significant grain, pulse and hay production, as well as commercial fishing and intensive animal farming. Townships, settlements and lush farmlands provide a range of lifestyle choices. Landscapes Lake Bumbunga, the Samphire Coast and Port Wakefield mangroves, Wakefield and Light riverine environments, Rocks Reserve and Halbury Parklands are just some of the region’s environmental gems. Wakefield is an important gateway to amazing South Australian destinations – the Yorke and Eyre Peninsulas, Flinders Ranges, Outback and Clare Valley – and we have our own treasures too.
