Meningie was the first place in Australia to have ADSL broadband installed without a Telstra DSLAM, using a locally installed DSLAM in 2003. This early adoption means the town has a history of reliable broadband connectivity.
Meningie is served by the regional newspaper The Lakelander and has various community groups such as the Lions Club, garden club and several church groups. The town also hosts a cheese factory restaurant and the Lake Albert Caravan Park directly opposite the museum.
