About Stanley Flat
Stanley Flat is a rural locality in the Clare and Gilbert Valleys Council area of South Australia's Mid North region, situated approximately 141 kilometres north of Adelaide and 6 kilometres north of Clare along the Horrocks Highway. The locality had a population of 401 at the 2021 Census and covers just under 34 square kilometres of gently undulating farmland at the northern fringe of the Clare Valley. With its median household income broadly in line with regional averages, Stanley Flat reflects the working agricultural character of the surrounding Clare Valley district.
Stanley Flat is home to the Clare Racecourse and the Stanley Flat Soldiers' Memorial Hall, both important landmarks that anchor community and event life in the area. The broader Clare Valley, famous for its Riesling wines, provides residents with access to cellar doors, walking and cycling trails, and the renowned Riesling Trail — a converted rail trail through the vineyards. The township of Clare, 6 kilometres to the south, offers all essential services including schools, shops, and medical facilities, while Stanley Flat itself maintains the quiet, agricultural character typical of the Mid North.
Stanley Flat falls under postcode 5453 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Narungga electorate.
