Murray Bridge is becoming one of South Australia’s strongest regional areas for infrastructure and employment. According to the Murray Bridge Council, there are currently close to $1 billion of projects completed or in the works.
Murray Bridge was established in 1874 as a vital link in South Australia’s trade routes. Its proximity to the river, and convenient distance from Adelaide and the eastern states, has seen Murray Bridge transform into the Murraylands’ largest regional, commercial hub. Murray Bridge is experiencing unprecedented growth and is on track to become one of the largest regional cities in South Australia.
Approximately 60-minutes drive from Adelaide’s CBD, via a dual-lane freeway, the city’s population is expected to grow to 35,000 over the next 20 years with an additional 13,000 jobs forecast for the region. Murray Bridge has land, skills and opportunity in abundance.
The stunning riverfront precinct is being transformed to include thriving community spaces, connections to the business district and welcomes new development into the city centre.

All this activity has created a housing crisis in Murray Bridge with severe shortages of rental housing that saw industry and civic leaders come together at an urgent forum to find solutions to this problem.
This has enabled more land to be released on the outskirts of town and reinforces that the town needs at least 200 houses a year, every year, for the next 5 to 7 years. There is high demand for housing with Newbridge being the premier residential development in the region that will deliver a new green heart to the city by focusing on landscaping, leafy street trees, water-wise planting and reserves.
The future of Murray Bridge is very exciting. There’s never been a better time to invest in your future and in this thriving regional city.
