Mount Barker, along with Littlehampton and Nairne is experiencing high and sustained growth that is likely to continue for many years.

The Mount Barker 2035 District Strategic Plan identifies that the ability to access arts, recreational, sporting and general community participation opportunities has a strong bearing on residents' wellbeing and connection with their local community and that providing additional community, recreational and sporting facilities needs to be at the forefront of future planning for the District.
