I Have Land Buyers in Mount Gambier

Why Buyers Are Buying in Mount Gambier in 2026

Mount Gambier has solidified its position as South Australia’s "Second City" and the primary economic engine of the Limestone Coast. The Limestone Coast Regional Plan identifies Mount Gambier as a critical growth hub, requiring significant new housing supply to support a population that has now surpassed 30,000 residents. This strategic importance is driving intense interest from interstate investors, local developers, and families seeking a high-quality regional lifestyle.

As a result, I currently have active buyers looking for land and development opportunities throughout the city and its immediate fringes of Compton, OB Flat and Worrolong.

Suburban Neighbourhood, Neighbourhood Allotments

Developers are actively seeking larger residential blocks in established pockets like Suttontown and Worrolong with subdivision potential (Torrens Title or Community Title). These sites are essential for creating new, manageable allotments that cater to the growing demand from downsizers and young professionals who want to remain close to the CBD and the Mount Gambier Hospital precinct.

First Home Buyers

Affordable land prices continue to attract first home buyers who are utilizing the $15,000 First Home Owner Grant and the stamp duty abolition on eligible new home builds. When compared to the rising costs of the Adelaide fringe, Mount Gambier offers a far more accessible entry point into the market. Buyers are drawn to the "city-standard" services, including major retail, university campuses, and cafes, all while enjoying the unique natural landscape of the South East.

Larger Greenfield Development Sites

Developers are increasingly targeting greenfield sites on the city’s outskirts for large-scale residential estates. Crucially, Mount Gambier sits outside the SA Water Augmentation Charging Area, allowing developers to avoid the heavy infrastructure levies found in Greater Adelaide. This reduction in upfront costs is a major incentive, allowing new land to be brought to market more competitively while maintaining healthy margins.

The Blue Lake & Crater Lakes Lifestyle

The "Blue Lake City" continues to be a major drawcard for lifestyle purchasers. We have active interest in allotments with views toward the Crater Lakes or sites near the Rail Trail and Frew Park. The unique volcanic landscape and the city's proximity to the Coonawarra wine region and the Victorian border make it a prime location for those seeking a "tree-change" without sacrificing urban conveniences.

Strong Rental Demand

Mount Gambier is experiencing sustained rental pressure, with vacancy rates consistently sitting below 1%. A robust workforce across the forestry, tourism, agriculture, and healthcare sectors has created a desperate need for new rental stock. This makes land and development opportunities highly appealing to investors looking for strong yields and the long-term security of a diverse regional economy.
