About Tonsley

Tonsley is a rapidly transforming suburb in Adelaide's southern corridor, located approximately 10 kilometres south of the CBD within the City of Marion. Once home to Mitsubishi's main Australian manufacturing plant, the suburb has been reinvented as the Tonsley Innovation District — a major technology and innovation precinct attracting advanced manufacturing, research institutions and TAFE SA. With a growing population and significant investment, Tonsley is one of South Australia's most exciting urban renewal stories.

The Tonsley Innovation District hosts TAFE SA's main campus, Flinders University facilities, and a growing ecosystem of technology and manufacturing businesses. Residents and workers benefit from excellent transport connections via the Tonsley rail line, with the city accessible in under 20 minutes. The surrounding suburbs of Clovelly Park and Clarence Park offer established housing and local amenities, while the nearby Westfield Marion is one of South Australia's largest shopping centres.

Tonsley falls under postcode 5042 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Elder electorate.
