About Millbrook
Millbrook is a small locality in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia, situated within the Adelaide Hills Council area approximately 35 kilometres north-east of Adelaide CBD. With a population of 133 residents in the 2021 Census, the locality covers around 12 square kilometres of the Lofty Ranges foothills and borders Inglewood to the north and Cudlee Creek to the south. The area is closely associated with the Millbrook Reservoir, a significant water storage facility operated by the South Australian government as part of Adelaide's water supply network.
Millbrook is home to a small primary school and a close-knit community nestled in the scenic hills valley. The locality's history was shaped by the construction of the Millbrook Reservoir, which began in 1914 and led to the relocation of the former valley township. Today, the area offers a quiet semi-rural lifestyle with easy access to the Adelaide Hills communities of Cudlee Creek and Gumeracha, which provide local services and community facilities. The hills setting, native bushland, and proximity to Adelaide make Millbrook appealing to those seeking a peaceful lifestyle within commuting distance of the city.
Millbrook falls under postcode 5231 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Schubert electorate.
