Suburb profile
Mortana is a residential smaller community in Streaky Bay with a familiar suburban feel. Far from the capital hubbub, it offers genuine distance, local character and room to live at a slower pace. Young professionals and new households shape much of the local mix, with a strong presence of young families throughout.
Local identity runs deep. This is the kind of place people stay once they have found it. Homes offer solid value for the lifestyle on offer.
