About Brentwood
Brentwood is a small rural locality on the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia, situated approximately 212 kilometres west of Adelaide by road within the Yorke Peninsula Council local government area. The locality lies on the Yorke Highway between the towns of Minlaton and Hardwicke Bay, in a gently rolling agricultural landscape typical of the mid-peninsula. With a 2021 Census population of 71 residents and around 26 dwellings, Brentwood functions primarily as a quiet residential hamlet for those working on nearby farms or in surrounding towns.
Brentwood has no dedicated commercial centre of its own, with residents relying on Minlaton — the main service town of the mid-peninsula — for shopping, schooling, and community facilities. The locality appeals to retirees and those seeking a relaxed rural lifestyle away from city pressures, with the nearby Hardwicke Bay offering coastal recreation including fishing and swimming. The Yorke Peninsula's strong farming heritage, scenic drives, and proximity to Gulf St Vincent add to the area's appeal for those who value wide-open spaces and a slower pace of life.
Brentwood falls under postcode 5575 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Narungga electorate.
