About Redbanks
Redbanks is a small rural town and locality in South Australia's lower Mid North region, located on Redbanks Road east of the bridge over the Light River. Situated approximately 7 kilometres from the township of Mallala and around 55 kilometres north of Adelaide, Redbanks falls within the broader Adelaide Plains Council area. The 2021 Census recorded a population of 185 residents across the locality's 44 square kilometres of agricultural land.
Redbanks is a quiet, agricultural community with a strong rural identity typical of the Mid North region. Properties in the area are largely used for broadacre farming and grazing. Residents access everyday services in Mallala or the larger town of Gawler, approximately 23 kilometres to the south. The surrounding landscape is characterised by flat to gently undulating farmland, and the locality's proximity to the Light River corridor adds some natural character to an otherwise working agricultural district.
Redbanks falls under postcode 5502 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Frome electorate.
