The City of Mitcham is a clean and green City - a good place to live and work. With an enviable blend of both urban and rural environments, a prestigious heritage and sense of tradition, Mitcham and its surrounds offer a unique experience for those tempted by cultural exhibitions and festivals, native bushland, heritage and architecture, scenic views and more.

Founded in 1853, the City of Mitcham is Adelaide's second oldest Council area celebrated 150 years in 2003.

The City of Mitcham, with a population of 61,000, is situated some 6kms from the City and extends into the beautiful Mitcham Hills, comprising an area of 75.7 square kilometres stretching from Cross Road to the north, to the Sturt River in the south; from Mount Barker Road in the east to South Road in the west.

Residents of Mitcham live in 32 suburbs all of which have their own particular style and community spirit. From the leafy backdrop of the Hills environment, to the foothills homes which share magnificent panoramic views of Adelaide and the plains, the variety and uniqueness of the area is obvious.
