About Green Fields

Green Fields is a small suburb located approximately 13 kilometres north of the Adelaide CBD, within the City of Salisbury local government area in South Australia. The suburb is largely characterised by industrial warehouses and light industrial land use, with a modest residential component that recorded a population of around 170 at the 2021 Census. Situated adjacent to Parafield Airport, the area benefits from excellent transport links including the Greenfields railway station on the Gawler rail line, connecting residents directly to the Adelaide CBD. Its proximity to the Salisbury industrial corridor makes it a practical location for workers in local manufacturing and logistics industries.

Green Fields is bordered by the established suburbs of Parafield Gardens, Mawson Lakes, and Salisbury, which provide access to schools, shopping, parks, and community services. The nearby Mawson Lakes development offers modern retail, dining, and the University of South Australia campus, complementing the largely utilitarian character of Green Fields itself. Public transport connectivity via the Gawler rail line is a key asset for residents travelling into the city. The suburb suits those working in the northern industrial corridor who prioritise affordable housing close to employment hubs and good rail access.

Green Fields falls under postcode 5107 and is governed by the Salisbury Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Makin, while state elections fall under the Playford electorate.
