Mount Barker has been growing rapidly in recent time but the impact of that growth will be becoming more visible over the next 18 to 24 months.

In terms of major projects there is:
The planned new accommodation style hotel at the Auchendorrach Entertainment Complex.

The new multi storey Mount Barker Hospital and car park which is under construction.

The planned large scale upgrade to the Mount Barker Freeway Interchange.

For investors this presents an opportunity to secure a site before the scale of the upgrading of Mount Barker becomes visible. In addition to the above projects there are new schools planned, the new Aquatic Centre will be open to the public and there is increasing local work.
Opportunities exist in the residential housing area and with commercial land and properties.
