I take this opportunity to welcome you to the City of Mount Gambier, the regional centre of the Limestone Coast in the South East of South Australia.

Mount Gambier, South Australia’s second largest City is a vibrant and progressive community set in a unique and ancient landscape of volcanic craters, lakes, limestone and mysterious underground waterways.

With a diverse and stable economic base, the Mount Gambier region is one of the most significant contributors to the South Australian economy in both export and local income.


The multi million dollar softwoods timber industry continues to be a key contributor to the local economy and has heavily influenced the social and cultural heritage of the city and the region.

The City has always been renowned for its spectacular gardens, quality recreational facilities and is increasingly being recognised as a quality conference and event destination.

Mount Gambier with a population approaching 24,000 persons is the regional centre for South East South Australia and Western Districts of Victoria, servicing the commercial, retail, social, sporting and cultural needs of the region.

The City of Mount Gambier has a fine record of achievement in the administration of the City’s affairs and can boast the provision of a wide range of high quality services and facilities, for the benefit of residents of the City and region.
