About Woodlane

Woodlane is a small rural locality in the Murraylands region of South Australia, approximately 80 kilometres east of Adelaide within the Rural City of Murray Bridge council area. With a population of 94 and covering about 5.4 square kilometres, the locality sits in the fertile River Murray corridor near the neighbouring settlements of Mypolonga and Wall Flat. The area's median taxable income of around $36,400 reflects its modest, agricultural character.

The locality is situated in productive farmland along the River Murray, where orchards and mixed farming have long sustained the local community. Residents rely on nearby Mypolonga, about 4 kilometres to the south-east, for basic facilities, while the regional centre of Murray Bridge — with its shops, schools, and health services — is approximately 15 kilometres to the south. The area is car-dependent, with the Murray Bridge Dial-a-Ride bus providing limited weekday public transport in the wider region.

Woodlane falls under postcode 5238 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Hammond electorate.
