About Totness
Totness is a small locality in the Adelaide Hills region of South Australia, situated in the central Mount Lofty Ranges approximately 33 kilometres south-east of Adelaide within the District Council of Mount Barker. With a population of 96 residents across 3.5 square kilometres, the locality sits adjacent to Mount Barker and Littlehampton, combining pockets of rural bushland with an emerging commercial and employment precinct along Innovation Drive.
The locality is home to Totness Recreation Park, a 41-hectare protected reserve featuring native bushland, a dam, and birdwatching opportunities. The South Eastern Freeway passes through the area, providing direct access to Adelaide. Adelaide Metro bus routes 800 and 840 connect the nearby Mount Barker township with Adelaide city. In recent years, the Totness Precinct has been developed as a light-industrial and commercial hub, reflecting the broader growth of the Mount Barker corridor.
Totness falls under postcode 5250 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Kavel electorate.
