Overview

Mawson Lakes is a purpose‑built northern suburb of Adelaide, situated about 12 km from the CBD and anchored by the 7‑hectare Sir Douglas Mawson Lake. The area blends residential, retail and education precincts, with a central shopping hub offering Woolworths, Aldi, a pub and a range of cafés, while the University of South Australia campus and schools such as Mawson Lakes School and the nearby Maple Leaf School provide easy access to learning. Residents enjoy a strong sporting culture, from the rowing course on the lake to football, cricket and golf clubs, and the suburb recorded a population of 13,794 in the 2021 Census.

Transport is centred on Mawson Interchange on the Gawler rail line, delivering 15‑minute services to Adelaide and Gawler, complemented by Metro bus routes linking the suburb to Salisbury, Elizabeth and Modbury. Major roads, including Main North Road, Salisbury Highway and Port Wakefield Road, connect the area to the wider region, while a distinctive housing mix across nine “villages” offers apartments in Mawson Central, lake‑front two‑storey homes in The Peninsula and a variety of detached, semi‑detached and terraced dwellings elsewhere. A dual water‑supply system supplies recycled water for irrigation and toilet use, cutting potable‑water consumption by half.
