About Paisley
Paisley is a tiny rural locality in the District Council of Loxton Waikerie in the Murray Mallee region of South Australia, located approximately 40 kilometres southwest of Waikerie. With a population of just 96 at the 2021 census across 149 square kilometres, it is a sparsely settled dryland farming area on the plains above the Murray River. The locality was gazetted in September 2000 and sits within the federal Division of Barker.
Paisley offers an extremely quiet, agricultural lifestyle centred on broad-acre cereal cropping and sheep grazing in the Mallee scrub country. The nearest services are in Waikerie or Blanchetown, with the area featuring the heritage Advent Lutheran Church reflecting the region's German settler history. The locality appeals to farming families with deep connections to the land, offering vast, affordable properties in one of South Australia's driest agricultural zones.
